Watch the trailer for the final season of The Walking Dead

It’s hard to believe, but The Walking Dead will end with the upcoming eleventh season. What will Daryl, Carol, Negan, Maggie and the rest of the gang deal with when they meet the Commonwealth, the most advanced civilization our survivors have encountered so far? A new trailer dropped at Comic-Con@Home gives us a preview:

The eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead begins on August 22. There will be 24 episodes in all, rolled out in three waves.

So The Walking Dead is ending, but The Walking Dead franchise is just getting bigger. For instance, after the first round of season 11 episodes wraps up, fans can watch the seventh season of Fear the Walking Dead, which premieres on Sunday, October 17. AMC dropped a couple of clips to whet our appetites:

And if that’s not enough, we’ll also get to watch the second season of The Walking: The World Beyond, the newest of the spinoffs, which is coming back on October 3. This one is deigned to run only a couple of seasons, and follows a group of teenagers who grew up after the zombie apocalypse happened. There was a little preview clip for that one, too:

Obviously, AMC has big plans for this franchise, and the shows will intermingle with each other.  “Fear is set many years before this [series],” said TWD boss Scott Gimple. “The Walking Dead is a little ahead of this [series]. But what I am proud of with all of them is that they own their own piece of [the mythology], but it serves the other pieces.”

"And this season especially tells the in-between stories that are part of bigger mythology. It fills in story gaps, or knowledge, that the audiences doesn’t know. And there are moments where there are specific joinings of the worlds."

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman said it all during his own Comic-Con panel: “There’s lots more Walking Dead to come.” You’re telling us:
