When "TWD" returns in August, Daryl and the group of survivors will be stretched thin, searching for supplies to survive. 

Here are eight new photos teasing what's ahead for some of the show's main characters in season 11, along with the original captions provided by AMC for each.

Daryl's divide with Carol is still present and the two will need to address it as the season unfolds.

"A man of few words, Daryl is forthright, weary, guarded, and most of all, strategic. His nomadic nature allows him to navigate the familiar and unfamiliar. The divide with Carol is an issue they must address, but food and supplies take precedence. A word to the wise – never mess with his dog."

The strain between her and Daryl is on Carol's mind as she "continues to operate independently."

"Carol is steadfast in her priorities to help rebuild Alexandria and keep all within its walls protected and fed, but others see the means to survival differently. She will always go to greater lengths to protect herself, her family, and her community."

Judith will start to feel the pressure of realizing she may be the only member of the Grimes family left alive.

"A child of the apocalypse, Judith is stronger than her years would indicate. She continues to hold her head high and fight with might for all to live. She feels the pressure of possibly being the only one left in her immediate family. This is a heavy load to carry at any age."

Eugene is feeling guilty for leading his friends — Ezekiel, Yumiko, and Princess — into possible danger with the mysterious Commonwealth soldiers.

"A risk taker in his own unique way, Eugene carries a great amount of guilt. He is aware of the consequences of every decision he has ever made, or will make in the future. In this constant emotional state, is his mind capable of trusting what he says and what he sees?"

We're expecting Yumiko to take on a bigger role in the final season.

"Yumiko's strength is her intellect and it serves her well. Captured, she has little tolerance for the questioning by the troopers. She is unlike anyone they have questioned before, allowing her to look at the situation in a different light, while shedding light on the inner-workings of her new surroundings."

Princess may be the key to getting the group free of the Commonwealth soldier's hold.

"No matter how dire the situation, Princess believes things will work out for the best. Her head may be in the clouds, but her coping skills are dialed-in to how life really works in the apocalypse. If she were to listen to her inner-dialogue, she might realize her instincts and observations could be the key to solving most of their problems."

Ezekiel is still battling his cancer as he and his friends are held captive.

"A zookeeper who became King. A man with cancer who has undying optimism. Ezekiel has always helped those around him and himself to live better and be better. Still captured by the troopers, Ezekiel feels he has made a grave mistake."

Ezekiel's right-hand man, fan-favorite Jerry, will likely lead the Alexandria community while others are out searching for supplies.

"Jerry is vigilant. His confidence and leadership are without question. His effervescence, at times, is the only light in this dark world. But do not mistake his levity for weakness."
