AMC's The Walking Dead unveiled a script page from the zombie show's upcoming Season 11 premiere — which gives fans an idea of what to expect when the episode airs on Aug. 22.
The released image is a part of AMC's "11 Weeks of Reveals until Season 11" and offers up some detail about the premiere, including its writers, director, title and synopsis. According to the reveal, the first episode will be titled "Archeron: Part I." It will be directed by Kevin Dowling and written by showrunner Angela Kang and writer-producer Jim Barnes. The second episode of the premiere, "Archeron: Part II," will be written and directed by the same crew as "Part I." The episodes' synopses follow.
Episode 1101: "Archeron: Part I"
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: "Archeron: Part II"
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 Commonwealth outpost, which threatens her future and that of Eugene, Ezekiel, and Princess.
While the synopses give fans a pretty good idea of what to expect from the premiere, they don't give away all of the episodes' secrets. Former showrunner Scott Gimple previously stated that the premiere is going to do things that fans "have never seen" on the show before and, with the show aiming to return to its roots, The Walking Dead's final season is poised to take the show in new directions. Fans might be able to get a sense of just what direction that is from the Season 11A episode titles, which were revealed alongside the script page.
