Will The Walking Dead be on in 2022?

The Walking Dead season 11 will resume its run later this year, but how much longer do fans need to wait for new episodes of the AMC series?

It’s been great to have The Walking Dead back on screens this year, hasn’t it?

However, the veteran AMC zombie show once again bowed out for another midseason break in April. This is the second break, with the first one coming not long after its eleventh season premiered back in August. It returned in February. But now, after airing another eight episodes, it has taken another lengthy break before it airs any new episodes.

Fans of the show are eager to spend as much time with it and its characters as possible. After all, season 11 is The Walking Dead‘s final season, meaning that its lengthy run will come to a close later this year.

First, we have to see new episodes. But when will the show be back for its final stint?

When will The Walking Dead season 11 episode 17 air?

The Walking Dead season 11 returns to AMC on Sunday, October 2, 2022. The announcement was made at San Diego Comic-Con (the show’s final panel at the event), with a trailer teasing fans what they can expect from the final eight episodes.

AMC usually swapped both TWD and spin-off Fear The Walking Dead around, using the latter to replace the former whenever it went off air for a break. Viewers hoped that, since Fear replaced its parent series one more time this season, airing the remainder of its seventh season from April through June, that The Walking Dead season 11 would return sometime in the summer. However, AMC opted for a fall release instead, confirming it in a trailer before the official date was announced at SDCC.

When the final season does reach its conclusion, it will be the ending an era of TV (and will also potentially be setting up at least one of the three in-development spin-offs).

Is it time for The Walking Dead to return to AMC for season 11, episode 17? 

When will The Walking Dead finally make its long-awaited comeback to TV screens with a new episode? This is a question that many fans of the veteran series have been asking for some time now. The zombie show made a comeback to AMC back in February (after a lengthy absence following its midseason finale in October 2021) but it has since taken another hiatus – and a very long hiatus at that.

The show is currently in the midst of its eleventh and final season. The season initially kicked off back in August 2021, and it has allowed fans to catch up with Carol Peletier, Daryl Dixon, Negan and the returning Maggie Greene for one last time before the zombie show bows out later in 2022. And it’s a good thing too that we’re catching up with Daryl, Negan and Maggie as those three are leading two of the multiple TWD spin-offs in the works.

But just when will TWD be back? Will it air a new episode tonight? When will The Walking Dead season 11, episode 17 make its presence felt.

Let’s find out…

Is The Walking Dead new tonight, October 2?

Great news, TWD fans: Yes, The Walking Dead will be airing a new episode on AMC tonight! With the show being off since April, this is the first episode to air in six months, and you can rest assured that fans will be thrilled that it’s back!

Titled “Lockdown”, season 11 episode 17 will focus on Daryl and Negan as they must work together and rush to the Commonwealth to stop Hornsby from targetting after their families.

With this being the beginning of the third and final chapter for The Walking Dead season 11, we also now know that the series finale will air in November, closing out the original TWD series forever.

With the show back for these next eight weeks, make sure you enjoy every moment of the final chapter in the iconic series.
