Viewers tuning in can expect to see a sneak peek from the new season and learn about what's to come from Daryl (Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and more after the extended Season 10 bonus episodes bridged the gap to Season 11.

Part 1 of the two-part season premiere of The Walking Dead Season 11, "Acheron: Part 1," is now available to watch early on AMC+, where new episodes from the final season will stream one week early all season long. The television premiere airs on AMC Sunday, August 22, at 9 PM, followed by a live episode of Talking Dead dissecting "Acheron: Part 1."

"We're back to our big, scope-y, massive, just extravaganzas with lots of great character interactions between the people we love," Kang said at San Diego Comic-Con of Season 11, consisting of 24 episodes to air in three parts through 2022. "But also our stunts and scares and all of that fun stuff that I think is for all of us working on it part of the joy of working on this show. Season 11, we kind of go in hard with some new stories, and new characters, and I'm really excited to share it with the audience."

Season 11 of The Walking Dead stars Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
