Great news! After briefly returning for the belated Season 10 finale in October, 2020 which saw our post-apocalyptic heroes deal with the terrifying Whisperers, once and for all,The Walking Dead will continue with six bonus episodes dealing with the fallout from that finale.

The first of those episodes, Home Sweet Home, written by Corey Reed and directed by David Boyd will actually be released tomorrow, Sunday February 21 on the AMC+ streaming service.

Basically, get some rest, wake up, and get ready to watch some sweet, sweet zombie killing.

Not only that, but this episode is all about Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan), marking the beloved characters exciting return to the series. She appeared in the Season 10 finale/special episode that aired in October, but here were not only going to get to see Maggie team up with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), but also see Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) for the first time in over a decade.

The final, extended season of The Walking Dead will run over the course of 24 episodes and two years, ending in 2023. It will be followed by at least two spinoffs; one focusing on Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride), the other an anthology show calledTales of the Walking Dead.

Thats all a lot of windup to say we dont have aWalking Dead Season 11 premiere date yet, but they did start filming in February, 2021. Given previous seasons schedules, and barring another global disaster like the coronavirus pandemic (please, please, no), chances areThe Walking Dead Season 11 will premiere in October, 2021 as usual.

While you can watch older seasons of Fear the Walking Dead on Hulu, The Walking Dead does not currently stream there, and AMC is not part of the Hulu+ Live TV plan. So unfortunately if youre looking to watch The Walking Dead Season 10 finale live on Hulu, may we recommend checking outThe Great instead?

Yes! Anywhere you can get AMC live, you should be able to watch The Walking Dead. And new episodes are usually posted the next day (for a price, not free streaming) on iTunes, Prime Video, etc.

That said, if you want to see Negans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) reunion with Maggie, your best option if you dont have AMC+ or Premiere is amc.com, where new episodes are posted the day after they premiere on the channel. And if you need to get caught up, the entirety of The Walking Dead Season 10 is currently streaming on the website, completely free.
