The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3 Release Date and What to Expect in the Finale

But by the end of Part 2, the Commonwealth has taken Alexandria, the Hilltop, and Oceanside by force, with signs of much more trouble ahead for our heroes in the final eight episodes of the series. Here’s what we know about The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3:

The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3 Release Date

AMC has yet to set a date for The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3. Fortunately, we can make some educated guesses as to when we’ll get the final episodes of the series.

Episodes of The Walking Dead usually air at the tail end of winter (Feb/March) and fall (Sept/Oct) of each year, with a hiatus in the summer months to break up the end of one season and the premiere of another. While Part 3 isn’t technically the start of a new season, it could still end up premiering in the show’s usual October slot.

That said, AMC released Season 11 Part 1 in August last year, so it’s possible Part 3 could follow suit and run from August to mid-October. We’ll of course update this article when the official date is announced.

The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3 Plot

Without delving too deeply into individual character arcs, we know that the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead will need to accomplish two big things: 1) conclude the Commonwealth arc that began in Season 10 as well as wrap up the series as whole, and 2) set up the future of the TWD universe, which will continue well beyond the end of the flagship series (we’ll get into that in a second).

As far as number one goes, showrunner Angela Kang and her writers room have a detailed road map for how to handle the last part of the show’s Commonwealth storyline, thanks to the source material. The comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Charlie Adlard also ends at the Commonwealth, with a final run of issues that offer both closure as well as a big helping of tragedy (if you’ve read the comics, you know what we mean). Of course, there’s no way the show can fully recreate the comic’s ending due to the absence of one of the arc’s key characters: Rick Grimes. Without Sheriff Rick, you can’t really deliver the comic’s heartbreaking ending onscreen. So expect some more detours from the source material when it comes to the series finale. We took a more spoiler-y deep dive into the Commonwealth arc and how the show could (and should) end here.
