'The Walking Dead’ – Season 11 - Sundays on AMC/AMC+

[RatskyWatsky]

The Walking Dead returns for it's eleventh and final season on Sunday, August 15 on AMC+ and Sunday, August 22 at 9/8c on AMC. The final season consists of 24 episodes and will be split into 3 parts, each consisting of 8 episodes. The first part will air this year and the final two parts will air across 2022 (presumably in the spring and late summer/early fall).

About the Show

The Walking Dead tells the story of the weeks and months that follow after the apocalypse. Based on Robert Kirkman's hugely successful and popular comic book series, AMC's The Walking Dead is an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival. A survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realization that those who survive can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth. They themselves have become the walking dead.

Previously on The Walking Dead, our survivors confronted past demons and combated new threats, with friendships and relationships suffering from the mounting collateral damage that is the apocalypse. Alexandria is severely compromised, left a former shell of the home it once was from the carnage and devastation left behind by the Whisperers.

Now all who live in Alexandria struggle to refortify it and feed its increasing number of residents, which include the survivors from the fall of the Kingdom and the burning of Hilltop; along with Maggie and her new group, the Wardens. Alexandria has more people than it can manage to feed and protect. Their situation is dire as tensions heat up over past events and self-preservation rises to the surface within the ravaged walls.

They must secure more food while they attempt to restore Alexandria before it collapses like countless other communities they have come across throughout the years. But where and how? More haggard and hungrier than ever before, they must dig deeper to find the effort and strength to safeguard the lives of their children, even if it means losing their own.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to those at Alexandria, Eugene, Ezekiel, Yumiko, and Princess are still being held captive by mysterious soldiers who are members of a larger and unforthcoming group.

This is it, y'all - the final OT for The Walking Dead! Thanks for sticking around all these years! Let's hope the show goes out with a bang!

 

[jwk94]

I'm not ready to say goodbye! 😭 Rick better show up. Also, great OT as always!

 

[Lukar]

Whoo! Great OT as always.

Not gonna be able to finish my rewatch of the series in time for this Sunday (just made it to season seven last night), but I'm definitely catching the premiere this weekend anyway. Really excited to see how things end up going this season. Hopefully, with it being the last one of the original show, they go all-out and have some twists in store.

And yeah, got my fingers crossed for an appearance from Andrew Lincoln in the final episode, even if it's just a one-minute teaser for the movies or something. That's a long ways out though.

 

[jelly]

I will make it to the end. Been saying that for years 😭 I will be happy in some way when it finally finishes.

Are the Rick films still a thing and will they sort of bridge a gap in the series before it ends or something after which would be really odd?

I mean, honestly, the season is being split into three 8-episode parts and the third part probably won't hit until spring/summer 2022 so you got time

I know lol. Was just trying to have it all finished before the season premiered. Ended up taking a break for a couple of weeks after S06E04 though, which threw my plan off. I'll have it done in the next few weeks.

 

[Matrix Monkey]

Are all the episodes premiering a week early on AMC+ or just the first one?

Lame if it's all of them, not that spoilers for this show are as prevalent as they used to be, but still.

Would be funny if the ratings picked up for this last season and they thought hey, people still love this, lets keep it going. 😂

They may as well be continuing it already, we've got the Daryl and Carol series on the way in 2023 lol. It's the last season of the original show, but it's far from being the end of the story.

Really, bleh. So basically expect nothing bad to happen to them and Rick or anyone else linked to their shows and films. Not that is how you should end the show with killing many off but the writers don't seem to have it in them for good drama.

Just me but I hope Fear ends too.

 

[Vito]

Can't wait.

Stay loyal to a show for over a decade despite serious dips in quality, watch all the spinoffs, play the games, etc. just to have them price gouge you on the final season. Sigh.

 

[Spectromixer]

Let's gooo

 

[metsallica]

sigh

fine

 

[dustyherb]

Awesome OT! Can't wait for this final season to get going. Amazing how Michael Shaw looks exactly like Mercer in the comics.

 

[Conditional-Pancakes]

To watch or not to watch...

The last season seriously burned me out of everything TWD (not the zombie genre, specifically TWD...) But I guess if I watched all seasons so far, I might as well watch this one too. 24 more episodes... I feel like I have Stockholm syndrome, lol!

 

[Strike]

Let's finish it. Are the movies still coming too?

Eventually. They're still planning on making them, but there hasn't been much news on them this year. Was surprised they weren't mentioned at all during Comic-Con.

Andrew Lincoln said late last year that he was hoping to start filming for the first one this year, but hard to say if that was just his personal hope or what.

 

[Lucas M. Thomas]

I'd also like to know the status of the Rick movies. I feel like at least one would have happened by now?

 

[ISureKnowMyStuff]

The movies won't be as good as the show since the principle cast won't be there so I don't really care if they take until 2030

 

[Lukar]

Was starting to wonder about it myself, and I think this is the most recent update on the movies. From last month:

The Walking Dead Director: Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes Movies Are “Still Alive” (Exclusive)

The untitled Walking Dead Movie with Andrew Lincoln returning as Rick Grimes is 'still alive,' [...]

comicbook.com

"I wish I knew, and I wish I could say [when it's happening]. I've read a variety of drafts of the scripts over the last few months. They're really making sure that they get it right," Nicotero told ComicBook's Brandon Davis ahead of a panel for Creepshow Season 3 at virtual San Diego Comic-Con@Home. "I don't know, because I'm always in my head going, 'Okay, so Walking Dead is wrapping up [in Season 11], but now they're talking about all these spin-offs and all these movies and all this and all that. And then Creepshow.' Everyone's like, 'When does it feel like you're going to be done?'"

So right now, I guess they're still just working on scripts lol. :(

Depends on how they space the films out. I'd imagine the first movie will only have Andrew Lincoln, Pollyanna McIntosh, and maybe Corey Hawkins and Julia Ormond (from World Beyond), but I can definitely see the later ones introducing more characters from the main show (and the other ones). I think it's a given that Danai Gurira will join the films at some point, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sydney Lemmon (from Fear the Walking Dead) and Norman Reedus eventually make appearances. Maybe Lennie James too, depending on when they eventually cancel Fear or write Morgan out of its story.

 

[Nameless]

Fell off for a couple years from early S8 until S9 hit Netflix last year. Just caught up on the last six eps a few weeks ago, so I'm ready for the final push.

Missed posting in this thread during Maggie's new crew's embarrassing boss fight against The End.

 

[Dr. Monkey]

My only ask is for Jerry to survive. Jerry is the purest of dudes.

 

[Lucas M. Thomas]

Getting your hopes up about any character is never a good idea for this show. :p They just love to make you care about somebody and then brutally take that person out!

[Senator Rains]

Is Angela Kain still running the show? She worked wonders with the cast in season 9!

I'm keeping my expectations on check but I was really disappointed with how much screentime Maggie got. Instead we had a whole episode about Gabriel and what's his face??

Also they need to introduce a villain ASAP! Alpha and Beta were gone too soon.

[Deleted member 13101]

Great OT ratsky!

Predictions: It will be a series of year-long rolling goodbyes. Rick and Michonne will eventually get better in-person send-offs. It seems likely they will keep filming while being surrounded by bad things happening to people's voting rights.

 

[Lucas M. Thomas]

True. They have established a handful of untouchables. I like that on one hand, but it also drains the tension out of any scenes featuring them "in danger."

 

[Heisenberg]

So I've caught almost all the way up to this upcoming season. I just have the last 6 episodes that came out during COVID. Are those episodes worth watching before this season starts? I wasn't sure if they were actual full episodes worth watching.

They're smaller in scope and are admittedly a bit hit-or-miss quality-wise (though I think they're mostly pretty solid personally), but yeah, they are full-on new episodes that flesh out characters, continue their stories between each other, introduce new storylines and characters that'll appear in season eleven, etc. You'll want to watch them before this season.

 

[sfedai0]

I stopped watching when RIck died (?). Skipped to S10 on Netflix and was.....surprised that it was watchable. I just might keep watching.

Just a heads-up for folks -

- AMC Premiere will be shutting down on the 31st

- AMC+ will have its' own App for Android and iOS (Apple TV too) beginning next week

- If you sub from anywhere else, you can only access AMC+ from the service you subbed from only (ie - YouTube TV, Apple or Amazon channel)

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Tomorrow!

 

[SP.]

Finishing up Man in the High Castle today, and just recently got caught up on all of Fear the Walking Dead. So ready for these new seasons.

 

[Lukar]

Very excited! The trailers all look good. Excited to see Daryl, Caryl, Maggie, and Negan interact more.

[Spectromixer]

The standalone AMC+ app is out now and has a 7 day free trial.

Spoiler: S11E01 spoilers

Really liked this episode, but man, Negan really lost me towards the end. I agreed with him until he brought up Glenn, and then he just left Maggie for dead. :/ I get it, but I'm really worried that one of these two is going to be dead before long. One is absolutely going to kill the other, if they don't wipe each other out.

 

[SP.]

Liked this episode but god the audio mixing in AMC shows is such shit.

 

[Lukar]

Spoiler: S11E02

Another really good episode. Maggie's story about the guys she ran into with Hershel was fucking unsettling.

The scene where they remixed the show's theme song while Daryl shot zombies was a little much though lol.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The season officially launches tonight!

 

[Deleted member 13101]

Military base?

 

[J_Macgrady]

sleeping zombies? Walkers discovered new tech

This past scene could have been held anywhere, but it had to be that tunnel.
