The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3 Release Date, Cast, Trailer Everything You Need to Know!

By Joseph Last updated Mar 27, 2022

The Walking Dead has returned for its 11th and last season (of the main program, at least), and you can bet it will go out with a bang.

Scott Gimple, The Walking Dead’s chief content officer, teased what to expect and how the world will continue to extend beyond Hilltop’s borders during the presentation.

“We still have a lot of fascinating stories to tell on TWD, and then this will be the start of more Walking Dead — fresh new stories and characters, familiar faces and places, new voices, and new mythologies,” he explained. “This will be a spectacular conclusion that will pave the way for fresh debuts. Evolution has arrived. The Walking Dead continues to exist.”

Despite a general decline in The Walking Dead’s ratings, the zombie apocalypse is definitely far from ended – but there is a lot of distance to cover as the maiden ship prepares to bow out.

When will The Walking Dead season 11c premiere?

Season 11 is now available, having been broken into three action-packed installments.

The first segment began airing in 2021, with the second beginning on February 20, 2022.

The third and final group of episodes has not yet been scheduled for release.

New episodes premiere on Sunday nights on AMC in the United States and on STAR on Disney+ the following Monday in the United Kingdom.

The season will consist of 24 episodes in total.

Who is in The Walking Dead season 11c?

The final season sees the return of some familiar individuals from Alexandria and Hilltop as they continue to acclimate to their new, zombie-infested way of life.

Among them are Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos), Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam), Magna (Nadia Hilker), Lydia (Cassady McClincy), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), and Mercer (Mercer (Michael James Shaw).

Lauren Cohan, who portrays Maggie, returned to the group following an extended sabbatical.

At New York Comic Con, Cohan described the news of her return as “totally weird” (via The Hollywood Reporter).
“It has the same sense as home. It’s quite emotional. It’s quite emotional. I have the distinct impression that this is a really special Comic-Con and a very special family, and I’m overjoyed to be here.”

What will happen in The Walking Dead season 11c?

Kang stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: “11B will have a very different tone from 11A, which is not uncommon for us in a season… the B block will have a really exciting thriller atmosphere, which we’ve been enjoying writing.

“I’m not going to reveal everything… but another group will surprise our people. And via our characters, we will gain a better understanding of the Commonwealth. And there are specific ways in which this manifests itself, as well as a number of characters we will meet for the first time.”

According to the official synopsis: “Numerous heroic heroes are currently battling approaching hellfire under Reaper attack, while others are battling Mother Nature’s torrential wrath in Alexandria. For each of them, their world is practically collapsing around them.

“Meanwhile, Commonwealth life is not as perfect as it appears. Hope will be restored for some. Others will be pushed to their breaking point. One reality remains constant: lives are on the line, and each choice has a profound effect on their future, their prospects of survival, and the state of each community.”

Kang told TVLine: “We’re back to being huge and scope-y when we begin [the final season]. There will be a sense that things are moving at a breakneck pace for the first block, and then we’ll experiment with some different tonal approaches than we’re used to on the show, which we think will be enjoyable for the audience.”

Additionally, she stated: “As we meet a variety of various communities, each storey will have its own flavour. As a result, some of them may venture into genres not previously covered on the show.

“My hope is that it will feel as if we are still discovering new things, even in the last season, but also as if we are simply moving forward.”

She discussed the second half of season 11 in further detail following the October mid-season finale, particularly the ongoing tensions between Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

“We were very invested from the start of the season in exploring the tale of Maggie and Negan, particularly given their shared past,” Kang told Deadline.

“When you’re forced to work with someone you don’t completely trust, it makes for fascinating encounters. I simply believe that it opens up new narrative possibilities, and I believe that Negan… he’s a guy that I’ve personally liked writing for, and Jeffrey does an incredible job with the role. He’s simply one of the characters you’ve encountered throughout his journey, but Maggie has evolved as well.”

The final part of the season is filled with cliffhangers, with Judith and Gracie stranded in a leaking basement and Carol, Aaron, and Connie caught in a storm. And it is not even the ending to season 11A that Kang intended, as she described to Insider in October, because to Covid-19 constraints.

“We had a whole different episode planned for episode eight, and we needed to be realistic about what we could do in terms of storyline,” she explained. “Thus, it’s been a series of similar judgments, which hopefully remain relatively unnoticed to the viewer if they are unaware of the backstory.

“It has undoubtedly been unique for us. We must rethink our strategy. We must alter our locational strategies in order to conceal our constraints… This is for a good reason, and so we just accept that, you know, because safety comes first.”

Kang also shared what viewers may look forward to in the season 11 finale.

“There will be a few twists and turns and revelations, and we will always attempt to keep it frightening. Hopefully, all of it is available to everyone as we continue to work toward an end.”

“What I’ll say is that there are certain characters, such as Daryl, who find themselves in situations that are diametrically opposed to previous ones,” Kang explained.

“So they’re navigating them in ways that can be unpleasant for their characters, because they believe they understand how the world works or their role in their group, and now they’re forced to stretch beyond their circle.”

“In general, I believe that’s what a lot of our characters are dealing with in various ways. And, of course, there are scares and all the other great things that our programme allows us to do.”

Whatever occurs, the second half of the season will include a significant tone shift.

“We took the first 10 episodes in a fairly linear fashion, with the focus mostly on Maggie’s tale and our attempts to deal with what’s going on with her as a group. And then, all of a sudden, we did a one-eighty, and it’s transformed into something like to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory “According to Norman Reedus (via ComicBook).

“We’re all currently performing The Exorcist, and our minds are whirling in circles. Yes, we are all Linda Blair at the moment. That’s how a black-and-white western becomes a technicolor Willy Wonka film, and it’s insane.”

“To be honest, [Daryl] protects the kids a lot, and…he protects Maggie a lot,” he added. “At the start of this season, Maggie is going through a lot, and he takes it upon himself to keep an eye on her and be a part of her journey.”

Daryl’s story, according to the actor, “develops into a greater conflict, which develops into something else different. However, I believe he is looking out for them and safeguarding them, but he is also protecting [their home] along with everyone else.”

When can I watch The Walking Dead season 11c?

The Walking Dead’s teaser trailer debuted just prior to the show’s premiere, and as expected, merely hinted at some of the tension to come.

Naturally, while there will always be a zombie hoard or two to contend with, the main struggle will arise inside the communities of survivors, with division being more pronounced than ever.

Governor Pamela Milton is proving to be a formidable force in the Commonwealth, with the primary purpose of restoring the’status quo’ before to the invasion of walkers… even if that means casting out and shunning those who do not fit in.

There are also some frightening enforcer males that resemble stormtroopers in their armour… and appear to be just as rule-abiding and indifferent to mankind.

Maggie, more than anyone, is averse to living in this new, more restrictive environment.
