WOW! Airing its first episode all the way back on October 31, 2010, episode 177 simply titled "Rest in Peace" aired November 20, 2022. The eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead, has now officially ended! Can you believe it. After so many ways to kill zombies the once biggest show in the world has now moved aside to allow Yellowstone run Sunday streaming evenings.
AMC premiered the final season back on August 22, last year. The final season consisted of a mammoth 24 episodes. The longest season of the series overtaking last seasons overly long 22 episode season.
Based on the eponymous series of comic books by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, & Charlie Adlard. This season adapts material from issues #175–193 of the comic book series and focuses on the group's encounter with the Commonwealth, a large network of communities that has advanced equipment and over fifty thousand survivors living in their different settlements.
While the season also focuses on the group's confrontation with the Reapers, a mysterious faction of hostile survivors that attacked and took Meridian, the former home of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and her new people, the Wardens.
BIG SPOILERS BELOW, you have been warned the episode commenced streaming a few hours ago on Binge along with other Foxtel services.
Jules is devoured escaping from the horde while Luke is fatally bitten and dies shortly thereafter. Rosita, Gabriel and Eugene successfully rescue Coco, but Rosita is bitten on the left shoulder while escaping.
After getting Judith to a safe house, she is treated by Tomi and reveals to Daryl and Carol that Michonne had left in search of a still-alive Rick.
Princess and Max break Mercer out who leads his men and the Coalition forces in confronting Pamela as she barricades herself in the Estates.
With the people outside about to be devoured, Daryl gives a rousing speech that causes Pamela's men to turn on her and allow everyone inside.
Mercer arrests Pamela for her crimes, but she tries to feed herself to a zombified Lance instead.
Recognizing that prison is a worse fate for Pamela, Maggie puts Lance down and saves her. United and joined by Aaron, Lydia, Jerry and Elijah, everyone lures the herd into the Estates and blows it up, destroying the herd and saving the Commonwealth.
In the aftermath, Rosita peacefully succumbs to her bite while Negan apologizes to Maggie who is unable to forgive him, but decides to try moving past her anger.
A year later, Ezekiel is the governor of the Commonwealth while the communities remain united in creating a better future.
Now aware that Rick's alive, Daryl sets out on his own to find him. Elsewhere, Michonne continues her search for Rick. On Bloodsworth Island, where Michonne would eventually find his belongings, Rick writes a message for Michonne before being found by a CRM helicopter and forced to surrender.
It has been a wild ride season 11, however it's now all over. I never knew this show would run for so long, spawn Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Tales of the Walking Dead while Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: Dead City will begin in April 2023. That's one successful franchise right there!
The Walking Dead started out great, got tired, tried over and over to reinvent the wheel, in the end the wheels had completely some off the wagon.
Season five was the peak with season seven getting back on track. Then it just hit a steep decline. Either way, 177 episodes, 11 seasons, it's a BIG TV effort in a crowded TV landscape.
The show is not really ending so much with Rick Grimes, Daryl, Michonne as well as Negan + Maggie's stories continuing. We will still have a fair whack of The Walking Dead on our TV's one way or another.
This week, Chucky, Andor and Pennyworth will also end their respective runs. Only Andor is renewed thus far, so time will tell for the Chucky and Bruce Wayne's butlers prequel series, Pennyworth. Seeya then!
