The writers keep working in between each block of eight.ĭEADLINE: So, you know I have to ask, tying your main storylines together, do Judith, Maggie and Negan make it? KANG: As far as filming goes, we just kind of film straight through, then there’s like a week and a half that the crew gets off. We had ideas of “we want to get to this by 16,” and then ‘like this by 24,” so it’s been an interesting challenge for us.

'Walking Dead' Sets Season 11B Premiere Date & Drops New Look At Second Part Of Final SeasonĮven though it is not a proper ender in a 24-episode season chopped up into three blocks, there were certainly cliffhangers galore, though no prominent deaths (besides Pope). Simultaneously, Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon’s infiltration of the ruthless and religious Reapers goes off the rails as his former significant other Leah Shaw (Lynn Collins) kills leader Pope (Ritchie Coster) and turns out to even more of a bloodthirsty true believer in her own right - to the immediate peril of a hooded Negan, Maggie, sharpshooter Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) and others. “There’s obviously just by virtue of the fact that this is a final season of a show that’s been running for a long time and has had so much attention on it and such a passionate fan base, you know, we definitely feel the pressure of wanting to land the plane well,” says The Walking Dead executive producer Angela Kang of the beginning of the end of the AMC series with tonight’s midseason finale of a sort.ĭirected by Sharat Raju and penned by Erik Mountain, the eighth episode in TWD’s supersized 11th and last season finds the near-starving Survivors in a dilapidated Alexandria under attack from a walker horde as the Heavens open up on them.
