Written by John Edward Betancourt

It wasn’t that long ago, that we discussed how AMC’s ’11 Weeks of Reveals Until Season 11 of The Walking Dead’ was going to be a bittersweet affair. One that would offer up a touch of sorrow over the fact that our favorite series was coming to an end, whilst at the same time, providing us with all kinds of images and wonders untold. The kind that would excite us and prepare us mentally for the end and well, as it turns out, the incredible reveals that AMC is sending our way, is healing our pain faster than expected.

For every time they peel back the curtain, they’re giving us something wonderful and exciting to chew upon and the latest reveal is no exception to that. Because earlier today, AMC dropped an image of a script page from staff writer Jim Barnes and… the titles to the first eight episodes of season 11 alongside another incredible bonus… synopses to the first two episodes of the final season. Giving us a taste of how the beginning of the end will come together and well, without further ado here are those titles and those juicy details, per AMC.

Season 11A Episode Titles

1101 – ‘Acheron: Part I’
1102 – ‘Acheron: Part II’
1103 – ‘Hunted’
1104 – ‘Rendition’
1105 – ‘Out of the Ashes’
1106 – ‘On the Inside’

Episode 1101: ‘Acheron: Part I’

Director: Kevin Dowling

Writers: Angela Kang and Jim Barnes

Returning to Alexandria from a critical food mission, the group realizes it isn’t enough. Maggie proposes a new plan, potentially a suicide mission. What choice do they have? They must find more food for all their people in order to survive and efficiently rebuild Alexandria. If they don’t, Alexandria falls, taking them down with it. Once on the road, a violent storm erupts forcing them underground into a subway tunnel. As nerves fray and suspicions increase, chaos ensues. The terror is relentless as our people get a glimpse of what Maggie and her group endured prior to returning to Alexandria. Meanwhile, those captured by the strange soldiers are relocated to another undisclosed location.

Episode 1102: ‘Acheron: Part II’

Director: Kevin Dowling

Writers: Angela Kang and Jim Barnes

The group discovers a member did not make it to safety inside the subway car. Surrounded by walkers, going back out into the tunnel to search is a guaranteed death wish. All eyes are on Negan as the rule of survival shifts. It is no longer No Man Left Behind. The motto now is We Keep Going. With very little ammo and energy remaining, the group must ready themselves as the walkers have found a way inside the subway train. Meanwhile, Daryl is in his own intense hellish situation trying to find Dog and finding more than he expected; and Yumiko challenges the process at the new outpost, which threatens her future and that of Eugene, Ezekiel, and Princess.

So, as you can see from those titles and descriptions, season 11 is going to open up in an epic and intense manner, one that will undoubtedly leave fans on the edge of their seats. In part because the action will undoubtedly be ratcheted up to 11 (pun intended) but also because no one is safe in a final year of storytelling, and it will be quite interesting to learn what some of those ominous titles entail and if everyone will make it out of this first leg of the season intact. But thankfully we don’t have to wait that much longer to find out, since we are weeks away from the final season premiere of this incredible series.

The Walking Dead returns on AMC on August 22nd, 2021 (9pm EST/8pm CST).
