The Walking Dead goes back to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead: Origins, a series of four specials airing in the lead-up to Season 11. Previously announced as part of AMC's 11 Weeks of Reveals until Season 11 of The Walking Dead, the recap specials explore the journeys of four fan-favorite characters — Daryl (Norman Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and Carol (Melissa McBride) — by "charting the story of the zombie apocalypse from the point of view of a single character," according to the official Origins synopsis.
AMC describes Origins as an "in-depth exploration" of Daryl, Maggie, Negan, and Carol with "new interviews and narrations from the actors that portray these iconic characters, interwoven with clips from the most pivotal moments of their journeys so far." Accompanying each episode of Origins is an exclusive sneak peek of Season 11 and The Best of The Walking Dead, a collection of episodes spotlighting fan-favorite TWD characters.
