The epic journey to the series finale of AMC’s smash hit The Walking Dead will begin Sunday, August 22, as announced in a new teaser that ran during the Season 10 finale. The flagship series’ final, expanded season will kick off with eight new episodes, the first of a massive 24-episode story arc that will bring the show’s decade-long successful run to conclusion.
Angela Kang, showrunner and executive producer of The Walking Dead, said:
Coming off of the six additional episodes for Season 10, which focused on smaller, character-driven stories, we’re excited to kick off Season 11 bigger than ever.
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.
Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of TWD Universe, added:
The final chapter of The Walking Dead begins with eight action-packed episodes that will feature the massive scope and scale fans have come to expect from TWD Universe, and I’m thrilled to share that fans won’t have to wait long for these incredible new episodes to debut this summer.
