The Walking Dead Extended Season 10 trailer was released today and we saw the survivors facing more challenges against walkers and perhaps other living humans. The six bonus episodes were added to the show’s tenth season. Each being standalone episodes like how we’ll finally get to see Negan’s backstory and his wife, Lucille, played by real life wife Hilarie Burton. Check out the trailer below:
Like many film and tv productions, TWD season 10 fell victim to the ongoing pandemic. The season finale was originally scheduled for April 2020, but eventually pushed back to October. The delay prompted production for a longer and final 11th season with the new episodes expected to premiere October 2021. Season ten’s six bonus episodes will begin airing next month.
“It’s in the aftermath of 10A and 10B. It is a part of that story. It’s connected to all that,” The Walking Dead universe’s chief content officer Scott Gimple told ComicBook.com. “Even like ‘Here’s Negan’ obviously has to do with Negan’s backstory, but even then, that is directly connected to the story coming out of season 10. These episodes, I mean… There were six episodes, six weeks. They were written in a… We had to go right at it. Angela [Kang], the staff, some writers from the past, from Walking Dead past, some people who came back to actually work on them. Everybody just gave it their all. And like Fear the Walking Dead, they’re concentrated stories because they’re shot in a way where we only have a couple of characters that we’re focusing on.”
The Walking Dead Chief Content Officer, Scott Gimple, mentioned he loves the anthology setup of the extended season.
“I just love those kind of stories,” Gimple continued. “It’s weird, for all of the intensity and fire that was under everyone to turn out as well, they’re amazing in that ‘Here’s Negan’ is an incredible episode. It’s really strange, the circumstances, how this all came together, but these six episodes are gonna be something that I think people are gonna really, really enjoy.”
The Walking Dead Extended Season 10 airs February 28th on AMC starting with the episode, “Home Sweet Home”, centering on Maggie (Lauren Cohan). See the other episode titles here.
