The Wallking Dead is about to say goodbye to fans for a several months.

We also get our first glimpse of Pamela Milton, the leader of the Commonwealth.

“This February, The Walking Dead returns with many of our heroes fighting imminent hellfire under Reaper attack; while others battle Mother Nature’s torrential wrath in Alexandria,” reads the logline for the new episodes. 

“For all, their world is literally crashing down around them.”

“Meanwhile, life in the Commonwealth is not as idyllic as it seems. For some, hope will be renewed.”

“Others will be pushed past the point of no return. One truth holds tight: Lives hang in the balance with each decision drastically changing their future, their chances of survival, and the state of each community.”

In Sunday’s Season 11 Part 1 finale episode, titled “For Blood,” written by Erik Mountain and directed by Sharat Raju, the Reapers defend Meridian from an incoming herd.

Pope suspects Maggie is behind the attack, while Daryl treads carefully.

Meanwhile, Alexandrians scramble to protect themselves when a violent storm leaves them vulnerable to walkers.
