“The stakes will be high: we’ll see more zombies; tons of action; intriguing new stories; never-before-seen locations and our groups together in one community for the first time, trying to rebuild what the Whisperers took from them,” showrunner Angela Kang said of the last chapter of the series.

Ahead of the premiere of season 11, Norman Reedus also chimed in about what fans can expect, as well as a hot take on his character.

"Daryl's always looking out for somebody, or many people at the same time. He's never doing anything for himself, ever," he told Entertainment Tonight.

"Daryl needs a spa day," he joked, adding, "He needs a massage. You know what I mean? He is a selfless guy. He needs some 'me time' really bad."

The show's co-creator, Scott Gimple, also shared some insight about its final season and the legacy the show is leaving behind, in a press release in 2020.

"It's been 10 years 'gone bye;' what lies ahead are two more to come and stories and stories to tell beyond that," he said.

"What's clear is that this show has been about the living, made by a passionate cast, team of writer/producers, producers, and crew, bringing to life the vision put forth by Robert Kirkman in his brilliant comic — and supported by the best fans in the world," he continued.

"We have a lot of thrilling story left to tell on TWD, and then, this end will be a beginning of more Walking Dead – brand new stories and characters, familiar faces and places, new voices, and new mythologies."

"This will be a grand finale that will lead to new premieres. Evolution is upon us. The Walking Dead lives," he concluded.

While this may be their last season, "The Walking Dead" is leaving behind a couple of spinoffs including “Fear the Walking Dead” and “The Walking Dead: The World Beyond,”
