It’s the beginning of the end of The Walking Dead this October, with the show set to return for its final part of its final season – finally.

The long-running zombie smash hit has long big farewell to its former lead Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), paving the way for a new course into the undead future. Season 11 picks up from the events of Season 10, as Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus​), Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride​), Aaron (Ross Marquand​), Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam​), Ezekiel (Khary Payton​), Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt​), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura​) and Princess Sanchez (Paola Lazaro​) continue to navigate their way through the zombie apocalypse.

Split into three segments, with eight episodes in each part, Part 3 will be the concluding part of an extended farewell lap, with a twist in the tale, as some smart zombies make their dreaded appearance, spelling trouble for our remaining characters. The trailer for Part 3, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, doesn’t skimp on the stakes or scale of the story, looking all the way back to the very beginning of the series before jumping back to the Commonwealth showdown brewing.

But Comic-Con also serves us a reminder that the show is, in some ways, far from over, with the franchise launching all kinds of spin-offs, from Isle of the Dead – featuring Negan and Maggie in New York – and a Daryl-centre adventure in Europe, not to mention the Rick and Michonne spin-off just announced. And, of course, there’s anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead, and another chapter of Fear the Walking Dead.

Season 11, Part 3 will premiere on 2nd October on AMC in the USA and will debut on Disney+ in the UK on 3rd October, with episodes then arriving weekly until a finale on 21st November.

Here’s the trailer:

The Walking Dead Season 10 confirms finale details – and adds more episodes

25th July 2020

The Walking Dead Season 10 will return this October for its long-awaited finale, AMC has confirmed.

The season was disrupted significantly this year by the coronavirus outbreak, with the film and TV industry effectively shutting down all production worldwide to prevent the pandemic spreading further. Now, as production starts to resume in pockets around the world, AMC has announced that the finale will air on 4th October in the US – which means it will air at 9pm on Monday 5th October on FOX in the UK.

The news was announced at the show’s Comic-Con At Home panel last night, with the premiere to be followed by the debut of new spin-off show The Walking Dead: World Beyond, which will air on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

It will come as a relief for fans, as the cliffhanger for Season 10’s penultimate episode teased a gigantic horde of zombies surrounding the survivors, as Daryl, Carol and more try to face off the Whisperers ones and for all. Maggie will also return in the episode, played once again by Lauren Cohan.

Showrunner Angel Kang, who joined the show’s main cast for the panel, also revealed some added big news: there will be more episodes to continue Season 10 next year, with six new chapters set to air in 2021 – a way to keep fans entertained while Season 11 faces even longer delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.

You can watch the panel below, which includes a new teaser for the Season 10 finale, or head this way for our guide to the Comic-Con At Home panels to watch out for and catch up with.

“We will fight for revenge. We will fight for our future.” That’s the sound of The Walking Dead returning for Season 10 this February.

They’re joined this season by Samantha Morton as Alpha, the leader of the creepy new threat the Whisperers who have helped to rejuvenate the show with a return to form. And with Dean Morgan’s Negan set to play a bigger role in the conflict between the Whisperers and our survivors, things are only going to get more surprising, brutal and tense.

Trailer: The Walking Dead Season 10 gets October UK air date

20th July 2019

The Walking Dead will return to our screens this October for Season 10, AMC has confirmed – and the show has got a new trailer to boot.

The long-running zombie smash hit bid farewell to its lead Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) last year, paving the way for a new course into the undead future, with Danai Gurira, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride and Jeffrey Dean Morgan now leading the cast. They were present at Comic-Con last night with showrunner Angela Kang to talk about what’s in store – and tease a “different style of war”.

“The Whisperers are a really different type of enemy. We’re going to see what it’s like to be in a Whisper war,” Kang told con attendees at The Walking Dead’s panel.

Caught up in that war will be new addition to the cast Thora Birch, who has joined the show as Gamma, a Whisperer who is “fiercely protective” of leader Alpha (Samantha Morton). Another new face will be Kevin Carroll (The Leftovers) as Virgil, a man who is “desperately trying to get back to his home and family”.

At the same time, however, Danai Gurira announced that Season 10 will also be her last,

“I’d just like to say that this has been one of the purest joys of my life, to play this role and be amongst these people,” she told the panel audience. “I will say my heart does not leave in any way, shape or form… It was about my calling, in a sense, and other things I feel called to, so all I’m filled with is a lot of pain about leaving and a lot of gratitude. TWD family is forever.”

Season 10 will air on 6th October 2019 in the US and will premiere in the UK on 7th October 2019 on FOX UK. FOX UK is available on Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk TV. Don’t have pay-TV? You can watch it live and on-demand legally through NOW. The streaming service gives you access to FOX UK, Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Sky Living and more, for £7.99 a month – with no contract, and a 7-day free trial available for new customers. (The price rises to £8.99 a month from 9th October 2019.)

Watch: Opening minutes of The Walking Dead Season 9 Part 2

29th January 2019

It’s only a matter of days until The Walking Dead shuffles back onto our TV screens, with Season 9 Part 2 set for a February premiere. Can’t wait until then? You don’t have to, with AMC releasing the opening minutes of Episode 9 online.

The clip sets the tone for the back half of the show’s ninth season, picking up from the dramatic mid-season finale as Daryl, Michonne, Aaron, Eugene, and Magna find themselves trapped – and the threat of The Whisperers becomes real. (Catch up with our review of the mid-season finale here)

Episode 9 of Season 9 premieres on Monday 11th February in the UK at 9pm on FOX UK, with new episodes then arriving weekly within 24 hours of their US broadcast.

 

Watch: The opening 5 minutes of The Walking Dead Season 9

1st October 2018

The Walking Dead Season 9 is only a week away, but that air date just got a little closer with the release of the first five minutes online by AMC.

The zombie horror has become one of the biggest shows of the modern TV era, anchored by the ongoing presence of Andrew Lincoln’s former Sheriff Rick Grimes. But after eight seasons, the show’s ninth run will see Rick hang up his hat and bid farewell to the series, with Norman Reedus’ Daryl expected to step up into the lead male role and new showrunner Angela Kang at the helm.

Now, we have our first glimpse of what Rick’s final days look like, and he appears to be enjoying life in Alexandria, a community that’s at peace following the conflicts of Season 8 – even Michonne (Danai Gurira) is relaxing with a walk alongside Judith. With The Hilltop, The Kingdom and Sanctuary also thriving, could things actually be looking happy in the end?

Of course not, as we know that Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) hasn’t gone for good, and Samantha Morton will also join the cast as Alpha, the leader of a new group, The Whisperers. How this will all unfold is anyone’s (very bloody) guess, but for now, enjoy the hope of things going well just for a short period of time, and prepare to bid farewell to Rick, one way or another.

Season 9 premieres on Monday 8th October in the UK at 9pm on FOX UK, with new episodes then arriving weekly within 24 hours of their US broadcast. FOX UK is available on Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk TV. Don’t have pay-TV? You can watch it live and on-demand legally through NOW. The streaming service gives you access to FOX UK, Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Sky Living and more, for £7.99 a month – with no contract, and a 7-day free trial available for new customers.

All eight previous seasons are also available on-demand through Sky Box Sets and NOW – ideal for those looking to catch up.

 

The Walking Dead Season 9 trailer and release date unveiled

20th July 2018

The first trailer The Walking Dead Season 9 and its release date have both been unveiled today at San Diego Comic-Con.

AMC’s zombie horror has become one of the biggest shows of the modern TV era, anchored by the ongoing presence of Andrew Lincoln’s former Sheriff Rick Grimes. Now, after eight seasons, Rick is preparing to hang up his hat and bid farewell to the series, with Norman Reedus’ Daryl expected to step up into the lead male role and new showrunner Angela Kang at the helm.

“This year, [Daryl] has a stronger voice,” Norman told attendees at the show’s Comic-Con panel. “A lot of that has to do with Daryl and Rick’s relationship this year. Angela Kang has always been my favorite writer…[Season 9] feels like a Western.”

“My relationship with Rick Grimes is far from over,” Lincoln commented.

“It’s been such a part of my life. I’ve breathed it for 10 years. I believe in the story so much, but this is a really terrific season for Rick’s story.”

“I’m going to take a break for a while,” he continued. “I do have a real family and it is time for me to go home. But saying that, I have one eye on the script. Norman and Danai secretly send them to me. This is a real terrific season.”

“I’m really, really excited,” he added. “No one is bigger than the story, and the story this year is unbelievable,” he continued.”

That will largely focus around Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who rose to power in Hilltop and still harbours a grudge for Glenn’s brutal death, as she finds herself dealing with Rick’s decision about Negan at the end of last season. With a time-jump on the cards, that also means we’ll get to see Maggie’s baby after a pregnancy that has seemed to last forever.

Kang, who was also at the panel, teased that comic book fans will see “some familiar faces from the comic come to life on screen”. Indeed, we now know that Nadia Hilker will play Magna, a major character from the original comic books. She will be joined by Dan Fogler as Luke, Eleanor Matsuura as Yumiko, and Lauren Ridloff as Connie. You can see all of them in action in the trailer for Season 9.

Alongside the video, AMC also confirmed that The Walking Dead Season 9 will return to US TV on 7th October, which means that it will air in the UK at 9pm on Monday 8th October on FOX UK, with new episodes arriving weekly within 24 hours of their broadcast.
