The release date for season 11 of The Walking Dead is just around the corner, with the final season of the post-apocalyptic show set to premiere on Disney Plus.

The new episodes will see the members of the cast take on new challenges against the dead and the living, as the world of TWD continues to be a cesspit of horror and despair.

Given this is the show’s last outing, with season 10 coming out earlier this year, there are some who suspect that Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), the protagonist of the series until season nine, could make a cameo of sorts.

Nonetheless, more Rick adventures are on the way, with The Walking Dead spin-off films – in addition to the slate of spin-off shows – in the works.

As fans wait with eager anticipation to find out what became of characters including Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride) and Judith (Cailey Fleming), here’s how you can watch season 11.

When is season 11 out?

In the US, each episode will come out the day before on TV network AMC, with the first episode airing on Sunday August 22.

The 11th season, which will consist of 24 episodes, comes shortly after season 10 drew to a close, which premiered in October 2019 and concluded in April 2021.

While the upcoming episodes will make up the final season of The Walking Dead, spin-off Fear The Walking Dead is going into its seventh season this year.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond TV series will also conclude in 2021, while a Daryl and Carol spin-off series is in the works.

Films centred on Rick are also currently in development, with Andrew reprising his role from the original show.
