The Walking Dead Season 11 premieres this Sunday, August 22, and ahead of that, AMC has released the opening five minutes of the first episode. This is the final season of the show.

　　The sequence shows a group of survivors, including Carol, Daryl, and Maggie, attempting to lift some bags from a room of sleeping zombies--known as Lurkers. Inevitably it goes wrong, and soon the undead are waking up all around our heroes. This kicks off a desperate battle to reach their helicopter while fighting off dozens of hungry walkers. Check it out below:

　　This clip follows the Season 11 trailer, that was released during Comic-Con@Home last month. The season will be the longest one of The Walking Dead's history, with 24 episodes set to air across 2021 and 2022 in three separate blocks.

　　Even though the main show is ending, there's plenty more Walking Dead on the way. Both Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World's Beyond return later this year for their seventh and second seasons respectively. Beyond that, Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride will reprise their long-running roles Daryl and Carol for a spin-off series, which is scheduled to release in 2023.

　　There's also the long-promised Rick Grimes movies, which according to Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman are still happening, despite the slow pace of pre-production.
