Leading up to The Walking Dead’s final season, 4 solo origin stories for Daryl, Maggie, Negan and Carol
The eleventh and final season of the AMC Network’s hit undead series “The Walking Dead” hits the airwaves on Sunday, August 22, at 9 p.m. ET. But we won’t have to wait that long for our TWD fix since AMC announced four specials leading up to the debut of the final season.
As part of AMC’s “11 Weeks of Reveals until Season 11” of The Walking Dead, AMC announced this week “The Walking Dead: Origins,” a series of specials exploring the journeys of the series’ most celebrated characters. The first installment of “The Walking Dead: Origins” will premiere on Thursday, July 15, followed by three more origin stories on the next three consecutive Thursdays.
If there’s any bad news associated with this announcement, it’s that the four origin stories will premiere exclusively on AMC+, and there is a free trial available for their service
Spotlighting Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), each episode of “The Walking Dead: Origins” charts the story of the zombie apocalypse from the point of view of a single character and features new interviews and narrations from the actors that portray these iconic characters, interwoven with clips from the most pivotal moments of their journeys so far. Each episode will also feature an exclusive sneak peek of season 11. Accompanying each special will be a ‘Best Of’ collection, featuring fan-favorite episodes for each character.
“The Walking Dead: Origins” lineup is as follows:
- Daryl’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 15
- Maggie’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 22
- Negan’s Story – Premieres Thursday, July 29
- Carol’s Story – Premieres Thursday, August 5
