AMC announced a release date for the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead.
The announcement was made ahead of the Season 11, Part 1 finale, which will premiere Sunday, Oct. 10. The Walking Dead will return with its final eight episodes with Part 2 on Feb. 20, 2022, though new episodes will air a week early on AMC+, with the first episode of Part 1 available on Feb. 13. AMC also released a teaser titled, "So We Could Survive," which offers a sneak peek at what's to come when the series returns. In the 30-second teaser, Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon asks, "Just thinking about choices. Do they even matter anymore?" To which Gabriel Strokes, played by Seth Gilliam, responds, "Depends who's making the choice."
The Walking Dead will return to complete Season 11's massive, 24-episode arc with many of the series' main characters under Reaper attack, others face the wrath of Mother Nature in Alexandria and the Commonwealth is not the utopia it seemed to be. According to the press release, "One truth holds tight: Lives hang in the balance with each decision drastically changing their future, their chances of survival, and the state of each community."
Written by Erik Mountain and directed by Sharat Raju, Season 11, Part 1's finale episode, "For Blood" sees the Reapers defend Meridian from an oncoming herd attack. Pope, played by Ritchie Coster, suspects Maggie to be behind the attack. Meanwhile, Alexandria is nearly decimated by a violent storm that leaves them vulnerable to walkers.
It's been previously stated that Season 11 will adapt storylines from The Walking Dead #175-#193, featuring a faction from the comics called The Commonwealth, which is can be seen in part in the teaser. Showrunner Angela Kang stated in an interview ahead of the Season 11 premiere that "the stakes will be high -- we'll see more zombies, tons of action, intriguing new stories, never-before-seen locations and our groups together in one community for the first time, trying to rebuild what the Whisperers took from them."
Based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, published by Image Comics, the eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead is airing now on AMC and has inspired several spinoff series, including Fear the Walking Dead, which premiered in 2015 and is now entering its seventh season and follows a blended family experiencing the zombie apocalypse both before and during the events of the original series. Meanwhile, The Walking Dead: World Beyond limited series premiered in October 2020 and aired for two seasons, focusing on a group of teenagers coming of age 10 years after the zombie apocalypse.
The Walking Dead stars Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton and Cooper Andrews. New episodes of Season 11 air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and is available to stream early on AMC+. Part 2 of The Walking Dead's eleventh and final season will air on AMC on Feb. 20.
