Jerry, Daryl, and Maggie TWD 11b — AMC released new images for the final season of "The Walking Dead." AMC

AMC dropped the first photos from the next batch of "The Walking Dead" episodes.
They feature new looks of Carol, Daryl, Negan, Mercer, and Pamela — the leader of the Commonwealth.
"TWD" returns to AMC on February 20 at 9 p.m. ET and be available to stream a week early on AMC+.

It's weird to see Daryl without his iconic vest.

We see him wear it at the Commonwealth in the new trailer, so it's still around. But it looks like Daryl (Norman Reedus) may be trying out a different look to blend in better with the new community for the time being.

Daryl looks like he'd be a good fit with the Commonwealth's army, but we could easily see him bump heads with the head of the militia, Mercer.

Carol's in full baker mode at the Commonwealth.

The new trailer teased Carol (Melissa McBride) with a batch of cookies.

The last time Carol transformed herself into a homebody was when the group hesitantly entered the Alexandria community and kept their guard up.

Will Carol be more trusting of the Commonwealth or keep her guard up?

Princess and Eugene will bond more at the Commonwealth.

From the trailer, it looks like the two will work together to search for Stephanie, who apparently goes missing.

It's unclear whether or not we'll see Negan inside the Commonwealth.

At this point in the comics, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) goes his own way to live in isolation.

We could see Negan doing the same here or he could return if and when he changes his mind – or the group needs him.

Mercer is looking like a badass in his Commonwealth gear.

Michael James Shaw joined "TWD" earlier in season 11 as the head of the Commonwealth's army.

Personally, I'm ready for Mercer and Princess (Paola Lázaro) to meet. In the comics, they become romantic partners.

Lázaro previously told me she's spoken with Shaw and that she was "very excited to hopefully have some deep scenes with him."

As teased in the most recent trailer, we'll finally meet the leader of the Commonwealth, Pamela Milton.

Milton (Laila Robins) is also the mother of the young man, Sebastian, who Eugene punched in the face during the last batch of episodes.
