The Walking Dead took a bite out of Comic-Con today to take an emotional final bow at Hall H. The dystopian show also unveiled a new trailer for the final set of eight episodes (which you can view above) and its last premiere date.
The final eight episodes of TWD will debut on October 2, the trailer revealed.
“You wanna die quick, you wanna die screaming,” says Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon ion the nearly three minute trailer shown today in a packed Hall H. Picking up where the previous sections of TWD’s final season left off earlier tis year, the almost ghostly peek at the final eight episodes revealed the final and bloody showdown between the Survivors and the well armed Commonwealth.
The once blockbuster series nearing the end of its eleventh and final season is the first in a post-apocalyptic zombie franchise, based on Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard’s comic book series of the same name, which debuted on AMC all the way back in 2010.
