The Walking Dead season 11 premiere new cast members
By Renee Hansen
The Walking Dead season 11 premiere was something to behold. The episode started strong and ended with a cliffhanger that will carry the viewer into the second episode, part 2 of the first.
“Acheron: Part 1” saw two missions, both searching for food to feed the growing community of Alexandria. The influx of residents from Hilltop and Maggie and her Warden’s has created many more mouths to feed, and the Whisperer’s war has depleted food and caused severe structural damage.
At the Commonwealth, Eugene, Ezekiel, Yumiko and Princess underwent hours of questioning from the auditors who assess new residents. They were eventually put in a holding cell, where they decided to escape. Just when they were on their way to safety, Princess saw Yumiko’s name on The Walking of the Lost with her brother Tomi’s name. Yumiko must find out if her brother is still living at the Commonwealth.
