The beginning of the end is nearly here for AMC's flagship series The Walking Dead--a new teaser for the show's final season has just dropped on YouTube. The 30-second clip, titled "Live for Them," ratchets the remaining survivors' stakes and needs to, well, survive, up to a fever pitch.

　　If you've been keeping up with the show, and were also a fan of the comics, the show is now leading its motley crew of characters towards the Commonwealth. It's a town that seems perfect, and it's the most advanced and seemingly civil place the survivors have come across. During Comic-Con 2021, a longer trailer aired during The Walking Dead panel--which you should check out if you missed it for whatever reason.

　　Even though the scene is set for the long-running show to end in Season 11, there's still a whole lot going on in the franchise. The Walking Dead, original recipe, returns to AMC on August 22--and will be streaming on AMC+ starting August 15--but is still far from over. The final season will be rolled out as a "trilogy," with the second and third parts landing sometime in 2022. Fear of the Walking Dead Season 7 is coming October 7, and World Beyond Season 2 coming just before it, on October 3.

　　And don't forget, there are also still Walking Dead movies coming with Andrew Lincoln reprising his role as Rick Grimes, and there was recently a small update about how pre-production was going. Also, in 2023, there will be a new spin-off series focusing on Daryl and Carol. Just in case that isn't enough Walking Dead content to keep an eye out for, there is also an anthology series called Tales of Walking Dead--whose release date is unknown--also in development.
