According to the man who plays Glenn, Steven Yeun, we’ll see the toll all of that has taken when things pick back up in season 6 on Oct. 11. Yeun sat down with EW cameras recently to share his thoughts on what’s to come in season 6, and he painted a somewhat bleak portrait.

“It’s easy to use the buzzwords — to say ‘roller coaster’ or ‘intense,’” says Yeun. “I think last year was a very good indicator of where we’re headed. We’re seeing everybody as who they are now.

We wear it on our body. To see where we’ve evolved to is awesome. So [season] 6 is that, is showing how much has been taken away from us. The end goal is to find some semblance of life that we lost before.
