'The Walking Dead' Preview: See First Images Of The Prison

(WARNING! To anybody who's not watched the first two seasons of "The Walking Dead" in their entirety: the following contains some spoilers. If you're not caught up, consider clicking away and going here to play Catch-Up.)

Excited yet for the debut of the third season from AMC's "The Walking Dead?" This is, after all, a season whose most interesting additions are already being teased well in advance of its fall debut.

This is the season that introduces The Governor, perhaps creator Robert Kirkman's post-zombie world's greatest nemesis. This is the season that volatile one-handed time-bomb Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) returns from being left for dead.

Most interestingly, this is the season that the survivors enter their new stronghold revealed in the closing moments of Season Two, The Prison. It becomes the new haven for the survivors after the safety of the farm is shattered and companions are lost at the second season's end.

Take a look below at these exclusive stills from Entertainment Weekly.
