AMC Networks revealed the titles of the first eight episodes of The Walking Dead Final Season: Part One. The zombie show that started back in 2010 will return on August 22 with a two-part premiere written by executive producer and showrunner Angela Kang and writer-producer Jim Barnes. Kang was responsible for the TWD episodes “A New Beginning” and “Lines We Cross” while Barnes penned “A Certain Doom” and “One More.”

As part of AMC’s 11 Weeks of Reveals until Season 11, which have released first-look photos and the Season 11A synopsis, the network revealed the titles of the first 8 episodes. They’re listed below.

“The first episode is crazy. I cannot wait for people to see it,” Scott Gimple, executive producer and Walking Dead Universe chief content officer, said recently when previewing the first two episodes. “It’s big. It’s very, very big. I don’t want to say too much, but it’s stuff we have never seen on the show. When Angela, the writer, started talking about it, I immediately got excited.”
The third episode of The Walking Dead season 11 titled “Hunted” hints at the return of the Reapers — the group that was hunting down Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and her new group, the Wardens.
Episode 1101: “Acheron: Part I”
Director: Kevin Dowling
Writers: Angela Kang and Jim Barnes
“Returning to Alexandria from a critical food mission, the group realizes it isn’t enough. Maggie proposes a new plan, potentially a suicide mission. What choice do they have? They must find more food for all their people in order to survive and efficiently rebuild Alexandria. If they don’t, Alexandria falls, taking them down with it. Once on the road, a violent storm erupts forcing them underground into a subway tunnel. As nerves fray and suspicions increase, chaos ensues. The terror is relentless as our people get a glimpse of what Maggie and her group endured prior to returning to Alexandria. Meanwhile, those captured by the strange soldiers are relocated to another undisclosed location.”
Episode 1102: “Acheron: Part II”
Director: Kevin Dowling
Writers: Angela Kang and Jim Barnes
“The group discovers a member did not make it to safety inside the subway car. Surrounded by walkers, going back out into the tunnel to search is a guaranteed death wish. All eyes are on Negan as the rule of survival shifts. It is no longer No Man Left Behind. The motto now is We Keep Going. With very little ammo and energy remaining, the group must ready themselves as the walkers have found a way inside the subway train. Meanwhile, Daryl is in his own intense hellish situation trying to find Dog and finding more than he expected; and Yumiko challenges the process at the Commonwealth outpost, which threatens her future and that of Eugene, Ezekiel, and Princess.”
The Walking Dead season 11 part one synopsis:
“Alexandria is severely compromised, left a former shell of the home it once was from the carnage and devastation left behind by the Whisperers. Now all who live in Alexandria struggle to refortify it and feed its increasing number of residents, which include the survivors from the fall of the Kingdom and the burning of Hilltop; along with Maggie and her new group, the Wardens. Alexandria has more people than it can manage to feed and protect. Their situation is dire as tensions heat up over past events and self-preservation rises to the surface within the ravaged walls.”
The Walking Dead season 11 premieres Sunday, August 22, 2021 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. It’s going to be an interesting final season. We hope it’ll end on a high note.
