Fans of The Walking Dead are particularly excited after spotting the return of a character in the new trailer.

AMC has released a brand new look at the 10th season's final six episodes, which will be broadcast from February 2020.

The clip introduces a new character played by Terminator 2 actor Robert Patrick and provides the first glimpse at Lucille, the wife of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Lucille will appear in a flashback episode and is being played Morgan's real-life wife Hilarie Burton.

However, it's another character that is making waves – the eight year old version of Hershel Jr.

Hershel Jr is the son of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Glenn, the character played by Steven Yeun that was killed off in the season six finale.

"How am I supposed to sleep when we see Hershel Jr and Maggie Rhee?" one fan wrote.

"Seeing that split second of Hershel Jr has fulfilled my day," another added.

One person declared that Hershel Jr was "already [their] favourite" character.

The Walking Dead's extended 10th seasons will return in the US on 8 February. 

It will be available to watch in the UK on FOX and NOW TV from 1 March.
