Yeah, really odd wording. I guess the extra episodes are just going to be minor standalone episodes that have no real bearing on the story at large. Hell, could just be made mostly from archival footage or something. Who knows.
They made it seem like these will just be new episodes. Angela Kang said the writers room were working fine remotely so they probably were able to write the extra stuff and not be behind.
Yeah, I appreciate the six extra episodes, but it's kinda weird they're still season 10 and not season 11 proper. I mean, they're still new episodes, so how come they were able to produce those but not the Season 11 ones? I'm guessing these extra episodes will be side stories to Season 10 and have very limited production (Limited scenarios, selected actors per episode, and very little action scenes).
As for Season 11 proper, I'm guessing it won't be until late 2021.

'The Walking Dead' will air 6 bonus episodes starting February 2021. Here's everything we know.
First announced in July, here's a roundup of everything we know about the additional six "TWD" episodes that are coming in 2021.

Yeah, these sound like side-stories to me. Not a bad thing though. Should be fun to see.
Season 11 is delayed but season 10 gets 6 new episodes? What? Filler? Shot over Zoom? Makes no sense.
Ooh. Scott Gimple says if he could do a pre-apocalypse series for a character, he'd choose to focus it on Glenn. o: Not gonna happen, but that would be cool.
They're also looking into telling early-apocalypse stories for some of the characters in some way.

Probably just filler shot with limited people on set, using the existing sets from season ten.

Are we finally seeing the Commonwealth?
no
EDIT: To be less dismissive: the last few seasons have proven the show still has life left in it. There's no reason to end it.
Season 9 was pretty good. Season 10 was a 2/10 for me. With Danai gone I don't have any reason to watch as there simply aren't good enough actors to carry what is, IMO, bad writing.
But yeah, I fully expect AMC to milk it forever. In 2100 it will still be going lol.

- Them clustering the S10 finale together with both World Beyond and Fear S6 is baffling. It would have made far more sense to air Fear S6 this summer and save World Beyond and the 10 finale for the fall. NOS4A2 could have used the Fear boost and I'm sure Soulmates could have benefited from having a World Beyond lead in as well.
- Fear adopting more of an anthology structure is...whatever. Structure is the least of that show's problems.
- 6 extra episodes for S10 (but not really because episode 16 is still the finale...?) is interesting. I'm curious to know what these episodes are. I seriously doubt they had 6 episodes worth of material on the cutting room floor that they were able to stitch together, so they must be something that they either already filmed (for another project) or are intending to film soon. Given that we already have a good idea of how S10 will end (based on the comics), I'm not sure what they could do for this. Maybe they'll focus on Maggie's journey over the last few years?
- We already knew about the possible single character spin off idea (they floated doing one centered on Michonne's journey to find Rick), though I think this is the first time we're hearing that they're looking to set them during the onset of the apocalypse. I'm not a huge fan of the idea. Maybe they could do one following Andrea and her sister? Maybe (don't laugh) T-Dog? I guess they could do one about Negan...I don't know. None of those really seem all that appealing to me. I think the time for following existing or past characters at the beginning of the apocalypse has long since passed. If they're gonna do another "In the beginning..." series, I'd rather they focus on original characters.

I just saw they'll add 6 extra episodes to season 10. I wonder if I'll get them with the iTunes Season Pass for S10, or if they'll be bundled separately.
Also, I'm not a fan of having a lot of spinoff shows gravitating around the main one. I hope they won't split the story too much. Fear the Waling Dead was already annoying...

My main gripe with the extra episodes and spin-off talks is that there's already so much filler as is. We've had entire seasons where only Ep.1, 8, 9 and 16 had something happen, half of it were deaths for shock and not meaningful additions to the story. The last seasons were better in this regard but there were still so many episodes that had the story crawl to a halt. Fleshing out the characters is important, but TWD has a bad habit of giving a backstory to a secondary character right in the episode he/she will do something important, or even more likely the episode of their death. Now they want to make 6 "extra" episodes in which the story does not move forward? Single episodes that dig into the background of people we probably don't care about a whole lot (all the barely named secondary characters or punchable folks like Eugene) or we already got plenty of backstory for already (Darryll or Michonne)?
It feels like they just want to pump up the numbers. As it is they already don't quite have enough material for 16 episodes per year. Making that 22-30 and adding yet another spin-off is not something the show needs. This isn't to say this content can't be good, but before working on spin-offs expanding the story they should... you know, have the actual main show progress with it. We can't have a stallmate between the good guys and the main villain for 2-3 seasons every single time.

So weird. I hope they have a great story reason for this.
I could see them doing an episode or two with Maggie backstory. Maybe an episode with what was happening with Connie. Possibly Lydia and Negan or Daryl and Judith. Maybe an episode with the Commonwealth?
There's already a thread for today's news, but figured I'd share it here too. The show is ending after season 11. :(

The Walking Dead Is Ending After Season 11, But Daryl and Carol Are Getting a Spinoff - IGN
The Walking Dead is officially ending after Season 11, but AMC is developing a Daryl and Carol spinoff series, and a standalone anthology to keep the dead walking.
- Season 11 will have 24 episodes instead of the standard 16. It will begin airing next year, and will conclude the series in 2022
- In 2023, a new series will premiere, starring Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride. The showrunner is Angela Kang
- AMC is also working on a new anthology series called Tales of the Walking Dead, with standalone episodes (or arcs) focused on new and/or existing characters
I'm not crying, you're crying. :^(

I know the show is past its prime, but I still enjoy it and I'm sad now! At least there's a couple more years of the main show.

I've been saying for years that the main show would most likely end at the same point as the comic. I just didn't see them going beyond that, stretching the show out indefinitely until finally putting it out of its misery in season 39 with only 400 viewers left. There's a little under two full seasons worth of TWD left (the season 10 finale, 6 bonus episodes of S10, and 24 in S11 - that's 31, 1 less than two 16 episode seasons), which is about what I expected once I saw how quickly the show was moving through comic material last year.
Still, it's nice to have confirmation and knowing for sure that they're building towards an ending should help the show keep its momentum going.
- The Daryl and Carol spin off (with Angela Kang as showrunner!) is interesting. I have to assume that if the show ends where the comic does,
- Tales from The Walking Dead. First, I like the name. Second, I much prefer the idea of one anthology series over them doing a variety of self contained miniseries (eg, The Walking Dead: Rise of the T-Dog, The Walking Dead Andrea: The Early Years, etc). Hopefully they don't rely too heavily on established characters though.
- Given that we know the end dates for World Beyond and the main show, I'm somewhat surprised they didn't also announce an end for Fear. I doubt we'll be lucky enough for S6 to be its last, and the ratings (even though S6 will naturally be down from S5) will still be good enough to warrant a few more seasons after that, so it'll be interesting to see what they end up doing with it.

this will be set before the time jump. I can't imagine they'd do an entire series of Old Daryl and Old Carol that takes place like 20 years later. And this should be a proper spin off - have them leave all the other characters and locations behind and go on a journey, perhaps connecting it to the Rick movies. A 'Power Book II: Ghost' style spin off where it's literally just season 12 of the main show would be lame. If they're going to continue the main show's timeline, it should 100% be as a western starring an adult Judith.

Did Corona fucked up all the WD plans? I thought when they took Rick out the plan was always to make his 3 TV movies, but then bringing him back in the end and let the end of the third movie go smoothly into one of the next, or the then last season of Walking Dead.
That's what I thought at least. Will they even have one of them ready before the series ends now???

Corona delayed the S10 finale and gave us 6 extra episodes in S10. It also delayed S11 until 2021. That's it though.
The Rick movies are big budget theatrical films and they haven't said whether they'll connect directly to the series or not. That was just speculation.
They could even cover the one shot that came out a couple months ago and the story that leads into
OP
OP
The Alien, Here's Negan, and
would all be awesome to see. If they do Here's Negan hopefully they expand on it a little, get Steven Ogg back as Simon, and show Negan's first days as leader of the Sanctuary. I would really love if they adapt Rise of The Governor as well.
Negan lives

Crazy the show will have a 12 year run.
Regardless of how people feel about the show and how opinions soured as time went on I still think it's an incredible show that had some lows but countered with some of the best highs around, too. It obviously couldn't go on forever and I'm glad they are ending it where the comic ended instead of trying to further pad it with no source material which could have been disastrous. Still, I'm going to be sad once it's over. Any show you invest 12 fucking years into will make you sad when it's over.
The brand isn't going anywhere, though. There are so many spin-offs now and in the future it makes my head spin. As long as the quality is high I am all for it.

Okay that seems like a solid plan. Wonder if they're setting up:
Maggie to serve the Rick role in the climax.
I'm all for more Maggie, especially with finding out what she's been doing and how she gets back to the group.

Huh. Wonder if they'd consider doing each episode as a self-contained story, with each episode covering one day from each year or something.
