According to the listings on AMC.com, The Walking Dead will kick off a season 6 marathon starting at 8 pm/7 c on Saturday, April 2, 2016 with episode 1 titled “First Time Again” and will continue in order until episode 8 titled “Start To Finish” concludes at 5 am/4c on April 3rd.
But there’s more!
Immediately after those 8 episodes of The Walking Dead, season 6 will start all over again, with “First Time Again” but run all the way through to the finale, which will air at 9 pm/8c as usual. However. the episode will finish at 10:30 pm/9:30 c, meaning that it will be 90 minutes long.
Many fans are excited about the possibility of Negan’s debut during The Walking Dead’s season 6 finale, as his appearance will start a chain reaction of events that will leave the AMC show much different than it ever was before. While there is still a chance he could appear before that, speculation is that his first episode on-screen will be a major game-changer and leave fans breathless.
As usual, when The Walking Dead has a super-sized episode, the post-show Talking Dead will be pushed back. Instead of airing at the usual 10 pm/9c time slot, it will be a half hour later to accommodate for the longer episode.
If you still haven’t gotten your fix of zombies by the time you’ve watched all that, Fear The Walking Dead will air its first episode of season 1 at that time, but it isn’t known if that will be the start of another marathon or if it is just a single episode.
