AMC releases a new teaser for the highly-anticipated part 2 of The Walking Dead season 11. The post-apocalyptic horror show confirmed that its eleventh season would be its last back in September 2020. AMC announced that this final season would consist of 24 total episodes divided into three eight episode sections (entitled “The Final Season Trilogy”), with the show finally ending in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine mandates delayed The Walking Dead season 11’s initial premiere date of October 2020 to August 2021, and the final episode of part 1, “For Blood,” aired on October 21, 2021. Fans have since been patiently waiting for a glimpse of what’s in store for their beloved characters in the upcoming second installment of the season.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

The show first began airing back in 2010, with the pilot of the series premiering on AMC on October 31, 2010. Based on the comic book series of the same name, The Walking Dead became a critical and commercial hit. Ratings for the show steadily and then exponentially increased for the first six seasons, and its fifth season premiere even made history as the most-watched series episode in cable history with a viewership number of 14.7 million. After The Walking Dead season 7, ratings dropped, as did critical reviews–despite this decline, however, the tenacity of devoted fans helped the series sustain itself for several more seasons.

AMC has dropped a new Walking Dead season 11 trailer, embellished with the subtitle “No Turning Back.” The 36-second video features quick, exciting glimpses of show veterans and fan-favorites Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), and Maggie (Lauren Cohan), as well as more recent characters Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Eugene (Josh McDermitt). The first episode of this second installment (making it officially the ninth episode of season 11) entitled “No Other Way” premieres on February 20th, but AMC+ subscribers can stream the episode a week early this Sunday, February 13th. Check out the new trailer, below:

The Walking Dead season 11b will, of course, continue the characters’ terrifying and often ill-fated struggle against the threat of the infamous “walkers”. More commonly known in popular culture as zombies, the walkers are an antagonistic force of walking corpses and their ravenous hunger leaves the remaining human characters of the show constantly in danger. Conflict in The Walking Dead doesn’t stop at dealing with the walkers though, and the new teaser hints at plenty of animosity between the human characters themselves. Walking Dead season 11 so far has dealt largely with “The Commonwealth,” a civilization of over 50,000 survivors with advanced technology to help in their fight against the walkers, and the trailer promises a bloody conflict between its members in upcoming episodes.

The Walking Dead has grown from its roots as a comic book into an entire cultural legacy. Its massive success confirms the continued popularity of the zombie apocalypse genre, which first shocked and captivated people way back in 1930 with the film White Zombie and then perhaps most famously in 1968 with The Night of the Living Dead. While The Walking Dead brought novelty to the genre, it has been faithful to its cinematic origins, too. For example, the make-up effects supervisor and executive producer of the show, Greg Nicotero, actually trained alongside George A. Romero, who created the Night of the Living Dead film series. Leaving behind an abundance of inspired spin-offs, video games, web series, and comics, fans can rest assured that the ending of The Walking Dead doesn’t mean the end of the franchise, and it certainly doesn’t mean the end of the zombie genre and all of its gruesome, horrifying, addicting glory.
