On November 20, 2022, the final episode of  The Walking Dead will air on AMC. After twelve years, the series will have aired 177 episodes to complete this chapter of TWDU. The creators have made it clear that the final eight episodes will close the doors on many stories but leave others open to future chapters, but the last episodes won’t set up future spinoffs.

It is a bittersweet time within the fandom as we mourn the end of the flagship series and celebrate the new spinoffs yet to come. Tales of the Walking Dead has begun its six episodes run, Isle of the Dead, the Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) series, which has started filming its first season. Plans are in the works for the Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) series and the Daryl (Norman Reedus) spinoff that will be set and filmed in France.

No matter what the showrunners, directors, executive producers, and the rest have created for the final eight episodes, fans will most likely not be happy with the ending. This is for two reasons: many aren’t ready to see the series end so that nothing will satisfy them, and some just won’t be happy because they’ve been disappointed with the series for some time anyway.

The Walking Dead final season

Showrunner Angela Kang has shared that the series will end as if there were no spinoffs to come. The finale episode, which Greg Nicotero directs, will be an ending for some, but, just like life, some doors will be left open.

The official trailer for the final episodes doesn’t look very hopeful for our survivors. They are all in precarious situations making viewers guess who will make it out alive. Fans know Negan, Maggie, Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) will make it out, but there are still many whose futures are uncertain.

The Communities have all been overtaken by the Commonwealth; some survivors have exiled themselves for coming against the CW, and others are on the inside creating trouble for themselves; who is left to save them? They are all scattered about the countryside with a horde of walkers descending on the Commonwealth, they are unsure who they can trust within the Commonwealth’s ranks, and things look bleak.

But, the trailer does promise they finish the fight together. At some point, they rally and come together against the Commonwealth and/or the walkers, and our survivors will have to come out on top. At what cost? How many lives will be lost? Only time will tell.
