The Walking Dead’s Final Trailer Released

They finish the fight together. AMC released the final trailer for the last-ever episodes of The Walking Dead, premiering October 2nd on AMC and AMC+. In the trailer for the eight-part series conclusion, the survivors fight for a future in the Commonwealth, the post-apocalyptic civilization governed by Pamela Milton (Laila Robins). As Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) lead the last stand against Lance Hornsby’s (Josh Hamilton) army outside Commonwealth’s walls, Carol (Melissa McBride) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) are among those still inside the community in chaos and revolt over the exposed crimes of the corrupt Sebastian Milton (Teo Rapp-Olsson). In the end, the final threat is a horde of variant walkers not seen since the earliest episodes of the walker apocalypse.

“We talked a lot about how far these characters have come. Where dowe think they land? What do we think the story as a whole has been?” showrunner Angela Kang said on Talking Dead. “We,obviously, didn’t know exactly when the story was going to end when weall started, and people joined along the way, and we’ve kind of figuredit out.”

In these final eight episodes, Kang said, “There’s a pretty clearemotional thrust to it, and we really focused a lot on making sure thereare fun twists and turns and action and adventure. But really, wewanted to capture the heart, because I think that that’s a reallyimportant part of the show.”

AMC describes Season 11C: “On the heels of the oppressive presence of locusts,an even greater force is bearing down on every single member of eachcommunity. With Commonwealth flags raised at Hilltop, Alexandria, andOceanside, there’s no time to strategize for those on the road. It’s arace against the clock to stay alive and extract those still living inthe Commonwealth before Hornsby can execute his revenge.Inside the Commonwealth, Connie’s article has createdmore chaos than planned. By exposing Governor Milton’s corruption, their hope to create a better, more equal, life for all mayinstead put everyone at risk. With the vast debt our group owes and noother viable place to live, simply leaving has never been an option. Butif their next move fails, staying won’t be an option either. 

“Whatthey’re about to embark on will only invite more danger with massiveconsequences. The clock is ticking for our heroes inside theCommonwealth as well. As each group continues to get caught inuncontrollable situations, threats lurk around every corner, dead andalive. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning forall. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, ordivide them forever? The fight for a future continues to be exasperatedby the ominous population of walkers. Not all will survive, but forsome, the walking dead lives on.”
