AMC's The Walking Dead returns next month for the second half of Season 7. Now, Daryl Dixon actor Norman Reedus has shared some insight into what viewers can expect from his character.

　　In short, he's mad and on a warpath. "He wants revenge," Reedus told Entertainment Weekly, referencing what happened to his character in the first half of Season 7. "He's ready to fight. When he goes back in that last episode and hands Rick back his stuff, it was like, 'Let's go! Let's go beat this guy up. Let's go take what's ours and fight this monster.' So, you know, he's in kill mode."

　　Reedus added that his character took Negan's violent actions in the Season 7 premiere personally. "Now he's ready to get revenge," Reedus said about Dixon. "He's ready to go kill everybody."

　　Finally, Reedus teased that Negan is possibly in for some tough times ahead. "He's been walking tall long enough wielding his little toy bat around. Time to bring that guy down a notch," Reedus said, adding that viewers will start to see "a little fear" in Negan's eyes.

　　Entertainment Weekly also posted a series of new images from The Walking Dead's upcoming episodes--go here to see them all.

　　The Walking Dead returns on February 12. Earlier this month, a series of cryptic posters were released, while it's been confirmed that AMC toned down some of the violence in the upcoming episodes.

　　An eighth season is also on the way and is scheduled to start in late 2017 with the show's 100th episode.
