You don’t even need to binge-watch the entire show to understand everything that’s happening in the AMC zombie apocalypse, either. Here’s everything you need to know to dive right into “The Walking Dead” on Sunday night.

They eat people, they’re gross, and they’re the reason why civilization no longer exists. Also, everyone becomes a zombie when they die, unless their brain is destroyed. It sucks.

He’s a former sheriff and a family man who lost his wife earlier in the apocalypse, and now cares for his adolescent son and infant daughter with the help of his companions.

It’s a big cast. You’ll figure out their names as we go. If not, no worries. Most of them will die before long.

He’s the dirty, sweaty, sexy crossbow guy that everyone loves. He’s your favorite character, automatically.

She’s like Sarah Connor or Ellen Ripley, except instead of fighting robots and aliens, she kills zombies. She’s your other favorite character.

At the very least, our people have killed other people. The body count includes an eyepatch-wearing psychopath named The Governor, a bunch of cannibals named Gareth and Martin, and so many more. In other words, our people are dangerous. They do whatever they have to do to survive.

Her name was Beth, and she was shot in the head by some bad people. Everyone in our group is really sad and mad, especially Beth’s surviving sister Maggie, and Beth’s good pal Daryl.

They’ve lived in a handful of makeshift civilizations over the course of the apocalypse thus far, but these days, following the death of Beth, they’re nomads looking for the next destination.

The show takes place in and around the Atlanta area. Recently, our characters flirted with a road trip to Washington, D.C., but those plans seem to have been scrapped — for now.
