If you've never watched The Walking Dead but hear so much about Negan and cliffhangers from friends and want to join in the brunch conversation, you're in luck: AMC will air a two-hour retrospective of the first six seasons on Sunday, Oct. 16.

“The Walking Dead: Journey So Far gives viewers who have never seen an episode of The Walking Dead a chance to get all caught up on the plot, characters, locations, and unique terminology of the series," AMC wrote in a press release. "...as well as providing fans who‘ve never missed a moment with fresh interviews with the series’ producers and their favorite actors as part of an exciting refresher course that will further whet their appetite for the new season.”

Season 7 of The Walking Dead will premiere the following weekend, on Oct. 23.
