It feels as though we’ve all turned into walkers while sitting around for the return of AMC’s long-running favorite The Walking Dead, but the wait is finally over as the show’s extended 10th season has a premiere date.
The six episodes that have yet to air will debut on February 28, 2021 with each installment arriving on a weekly basis. Subscribers to AMC+ will have early access each week as every episode becomes available the Thursday prior to its network airtime. This means that the series will return with a new episode on AMC+ as early as Thursday, February 25.
Along with the exciting premiere news, AMC also unveiled a slew of great guest stars taking part in these six installments. Joining previously announced guest star Hilarie Burton Morgan — who will portray Lucille — are Robert Patrick as Mays and Okea Eme-Akwari as Elijah.
As a preview of what’s to come, AMC also released a fun table read segment of the upcoming episode “One More” featuring Robert Patrick and other stars Ross Marquand, Seth Gilliam and Josh McDermitt. Fans will see the survivors of Dead‘s most recent episode attempt to rebuild their lives in the wake of the Whisperers’ damage. Trauma and struggles will leave them vulnerable, but can their humanity and inner strength help them rise up?
