Understandably there is some confusion in the fandom. This confusion stems around the release dates and times for The Walking Dead season 11 episodes. When AMC+ announced that the final season episodes would be released one week earlier than the AMC Sunday night release, there was bound to be confusion.
Fans of the long-running series are anxious to see what happens in the final season. The Whisperer war has ended, Maggie has returned, Alexandria is suffering and the Commonwealth has been introduced.
There is tension between Daryl and Carol, an altercation is bound to happen between Maggie and Negan, the Reapers are a new threat, and no one knows Connie is alive. Everyone knows that Eugene, Ezekiel and Yumkio have headed to the rendezvous with Stephanie, but they don’t know they have made a new friend in Princess or that the Commonwealth soldiers are holding them.
The teasers and trailers look dark and foreboding. Things are going to happen that won’t be pleasant. Will there be anything positive on the horizon?
The Walking Dead episode schedules for AMC+ and AMC
Fans are looking for any opportunity to view the new episode as early as possible. AMC+ is giving them that opportunity, but at what cost? This leaves a wide-open opportunity for spoilers and pirating of the episodes.
Season 11 will be released in three parts, each consisting of 8 episodes. At Comic Con@Home, it was announced that the first eight episodes would be released on AMC+ one week early. This means episode one was released on AMC+ on August 15.
This Sunday, episode two will be released on AMC+ at 12:01 AM PT and episode one on AMC at 9:00 PM ET. Clear as mud?
