In the epic final season, Daryl and Maggie embark on a risky mission with Negan to root out the shadowy Reapers while Eugene and Ezekiel make contact with the sprawling Commonwealth. To secure aid for Alexandria, their goal, they must assimilate, a tough ask for people who have seen no end of deceit, betrayal, and loss. Stunned by the Commonwealth's resources, the group slowly adjusts to their new home, but they cannot ignore what lurks beneath its seemingly civilized surface. Soon, threats abound, loyalties are tested, and shocking fates await. But the fight for the future, threatened by an ever-growing population of walkers, means the walking dead will live on.
