We have almost arrived at the door of The Walking Dead Season 10’s finale, and just the fact that the long wait is coming to an end has got the fans excited. Season 10 arrived last year; however, due to the government’s restrictions and other protocols to combat the pandemic, episode 16 was delayed from its original update. We do have good news for you, as the official team has decided to gift us six more episodes to make up for the long wait.
The episodes’ announcement came early summer, and as per the schedule, the episodes will premiere next year. However, we do have the latest updates that will give you an idea of what to expect. The showrunner Angela Kang described the episode as as “extension of episodes beyond the finale” of season 10.
The Walking Dead Season 10 – Additional Episodes Update
During the AMC’s The Walking Dead Universe Preview Special with Comicbook, Angela Kang revealed that they filmed the additional parts keeping all the safety in mind. Some of them will give the fans more of an anthology vibe. It will also explore the characters and have been designed to revolve around them so fans will get to know a lot about them. It will be a little different from what they have done in the season 10 finale, but Kang hopes that it resonates with the fans, and they enjoy it as much as the team did while making the episodes.
She added that the episodes will give a new dimension to the story and will reveal the deeper aspects of the characters’ lives as they survive through their ordeal. Then, it will eventually lead to the finale of the show (Season 11). Something that fans hope to see is Maggie’s story and what she has been doing all this time, keeping a low profile.
Earlier, The Walking Dead released a new teaser for episode 16, and things are not looking nice for a particular character. The teaser features our heroes as they prepare to go all out on Beta and his hordes, but Daryl quickly made the gang realize that some of them might not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Angela added that the magnitude of the battle would be enormous, as the gang will be facing the size of hoarders that they have never encountered before.
