Watch out for Lucille. Entertainment Weekly has released an exclusive photo from season seven of The Walking Dead.

Earlier, we reported Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Tom Payne, Austin Amelio, and Xander Berkeley have been promoted to series regulars for the upcoming season of the AMC zombie drama.

The sneak peek features Negan (Morgan) swinging his weapon of a choice, a barbed bat named Lucille. The new season will pick up right where season six ended, finding out who was on the receiving end of that bat.

Season six of The Walking Dead is set to premiere in October.
