‘The Walking Dead’ Final Season Part 3 Preview
The final season of “The Walking Dead” is airing in three parts. The first part aired in August through October of 2021; part two aired in February through April of 2022. Now the final eight episodes are airing in October and November of 2022, almost the exact timeline that the first season aired its six episodes 12 years ago. The show has spawned six spinoffs, including two that have not yet premiered — a Daryl (Norman Reedus) spinoff and a Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) spinoff, both of which are slated for 2023 releases.
When the show returns, fans can look forward to an “even greater force bearing down on every single member of each community,” according to the AMC press release.
It continues:
With Commonwealth flags raised at Hilltop, Alexandria, and Oceanside, there’s no time to strategize for those on the road. It’s a race against the clock to stay alive and extract those still living in the Commonwealth before Hornsby (Josh Hamilton) can execute his revenge. Inside the Commonwealth, Connie’s (Lauren Ridloff) article has created more chaos than planned. By exposing the Milton’s (Laila Robbins) corruption, their hope to create a better, more equal, life for all may instead put everyone at risk. With the vast debt our group owes and no other viable place to live, simply leaving has never been an option.
But if their next move fails, staying won’t be an option either. What they’re about to embark on will only invite more danger with massive consequences. The clock is ticking for our heroes inside the Commonwealth as well. As each group continues to get caught in uncontrollable situations, threats lurk around every corner, dead and alive. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning for all. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, or divide them forever? The fight for a future continues to be exasperated by the ominous population of walkers. Not all will survive, but for some, the walking dead lives on.
“The Walking Dead’s” final season part three premiere episode is titled “Lockdown” and its description reads, “Daryl and Negan rush to the Commonwealth in order to stop Hornsby.”
Then on October 9 comes the next episode, titled “A New Deal.” Its description reads, “The survivors make a deal with Pamela; the Commonwealth celebrates Founders Day.”
“The Walking Dead” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on AMC.
