The Walking Dead Season 11 trailer out

During a panel for San Diego Comic-Con at Home on Saturday, The Walking Dead makers dropped a full-length trailer for its final season, Season 11. The Walking Dead 11 was initially scheduled to release in 2020 but was postponed due to the global pandemic. During the panel, series showrunner Angela Kang talked about how the pandemic changed the way she and the show's creative team approached production and said, "Obviously the pandemic changed a lot of how we had to do everything, but it was really fun to do these focused, intimate episodes for [Season] 10C. Season 11, we're going to go out with a bang."

She further said "We're back to our big, scopey, massive extravaganzas with lots of great character interactions between the people we love. In season 11 we kind of go in hard with some new stories and new characters. I'm really excited to share it with the audience when it's time."

The series will premiere on August 22 and will have three parts that will include eight episodes in each part, or 24 episodes total. Part two and three of the final season will air in 2022, with exact premiere dates to follow.
