The Walking Dead returns to UK screens tomorrow (23rd August) for it’s eleventh and final season. Season 11 is set to be the biggest ever with a run of 24 episodes. These are going to be split into three eight-episode blocks, with the final two blocks showing in 2022.
Watching the show is going to be a little different than usual with the FOX channel closing down. Instead, UK fans will be able to stream the new episodes via Star on Disney+. We’re used to getting the episodes a day or so behind the US, however, we’re expecting episodes to show up each week around 8am.
If you’re not up to date with The Walking Dead and like to avoid spoilers we suggest you don’t read any further.
Watch The Walking Dead season 11 trailer below:
Season 10 saw the end of the Whisperer War with the survivors facing off against Alpha (Samantha Morton) and her horde. A plan set in motion by Carol (Melissa McBride) saw Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) infiltrate the Whisperers and kill Alpha.

Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) stayed behind but was saved when Maggie (Lauren Cohan) showed up. She had received letters from Carol and brought some friends to help. Maggie and her group also rescued Aaron (Ross Marquand) and Alden (Callan McAuliffe).
Negan and Daryl worked together to put an end to Beta. Lydia (Cassaday McClincy) wore her mothers mask and led the horde off a cliff. She planned to jump herself but was stopped by Carol.
Elsewhere, Virgil (Kevin Carroll) arrived back at Oceanside and found Connie (Lauren Ridloff). While, Eugene (Josh McDermitt) took his group on a mission to find Stephanie. Instead they ended up getting captured but a group of armed soldiers.
