Everything We Know About The Walking Dead Season 10

Fans of The Walking Dead, season 10 returns next month and if you're looking for a refresher you're in the right place.

The six bonus episodes heralds the return of Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohen), who drifted from the group after her husband Glenn (Steven Yeun) was brutally killed by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Check out the trailer below:

What's in store for season 10?

Maggie appears to be is hellbent on revenge as she makes a comeback with her young son Hershel.

"I told him a bad man killed him," she is seen saying in the clip. "And he wanted to know if that man got what he deserved."

Maggie's arrival may be enough to tip Negan over the edge, with the series villain already becoming more and more erratic in his behaviour.

The trailer shows Negan posing alongside his infamous barbed wire baseball bat that he named after his wife Lucille.

And the real Lucille, played by Jeffrey's real-life wife Hillarie Burton, will make her debut - as she is seen shooting the head off a zombie that was attacking a survivor.

Fans will remember that, while they were married pre-apocalypse, Negan was repeatedly cheating on Lucille while she battled cancer.

Has Covid-19 impacted season 10?

Yes. The season 10 finale was planned to air in April last year but post-production was delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. AMC finally aired the episode titled 'A Certain Doom' on 4^th October 2020, followed by six bonus episodes starting in February.

Is season 10 the final season?

In October 2019, AMC announced that The Walking Dead had been renewed for an eleventh season, just prior to the tenth season premiere.

In September last year, AMC confirmed that the show would conclude with the eleventh season, covering 24 episodes broadcasted over a two-year broadcast period.

Season 11 will premiere later this year. It was originally planned to debut in October 2020 but Covid-19 led to its delay.

Are there any spin-offs in development?

Thankfully there's still lots to look forward to for all the Walking Dead fans out there. A spin-off focusing on the characters Daryl and Carol is set to air in 2023. There's also a movie in the works too!

Season 10 returns Sunday, February 28, 2021 at 9pm on AMC.
