"The Walking Dead" season 4 midseason finale will be airing Dec. 1 on AMC at 9p.m. ET.

The 8^th episode titled "Too Far Gone" will be the last episode this year before the hit show returns to the small screen in February 2014.

A promotional image for the midseason finale on AMC's Facebook describes the episode as a "Prison Showdown."

Favorite characters of the hit show have been killed off this season, but more danger is expected in the midseason finale, and more characters will die.

A leaked synopsis states: "After things begin to calm at the prison, Rick and the group face imminent danger."

A sneak peek promo video shows the governor lying about the prison as he tells the survivors: "They're going to realize their people are gone and they're going to start getting ready for what's next. We need to surprise them, scare them.. and we will win."

The promo video also states that "all will fight" and some will fail in the Governor's deadly war against the prison.

Will the midseason finale see the deaths of veteran characters Rick, Glenn, Carl, Daryl or Carol?

"Too Far Gone" is sure to stir up discussion and outrage among fans no matter who is killed off.
