The next year promises to be a big one for all things The Walking Dead, from returning favorite characters to the conclusion of the main show. Heres what were hoping for when AMCs zombie dramas pick up again.

Including the Reapers and incorporating Leah (Lynn Collins) into their villainous group was all fine and good, butwhen all was said and done, they didnt really do much of anything. If were honest, were far more interested in the mysterious Commonwealth, which seems to have a definite darkness lurking beneath its gilded surface. Heres hoping the Reapers either get more interesting now that Leahs officially in charge, or that particular plot wraps up quickly to give the source material story time to shine.
Okay, technically, we already have an answer. That said, we have a really hard time believing Leah is Daryls (Norman Reedus) endgame, especially considering how she betrayed him. Assuming theyre done, at this point, it seems like there are three options as far as Daryls love life goes: Carol (Melissa McBride), Connie (Lauren Ridloff), or no one at all. Given how gigantic of a subject Daryls romantic connections have been throughout the series 11 seasons, were looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

Is he still sitting in that church? We havent heard much of anything about the mortally wounded former Savior since early Season 11 when Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and team left him behind at his request so they could focus on the mission. All things considered, were pretty concerned about him. Heres hoping he just survived, somehow.
Readers of the source material know we have two major deaths yet to come in the Commonwealth arc. Since neither of these characters are anywhere near the action, it doesnt feel like a spoiler to say that in the comics, those demises belong to Dwight (Austin Amelio) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln). TWD is unlikely to kill off either of them in Season 11 (Dwight is over on Fear, and we still dont know whats going on with Rick), but those endings are given to other characters, were wondering who might go next.

It might not air until fall of 2023, but were desperate for any crumbs AMC drop about the spinoff show devoted to this beloved duo. Were assuming the show confirms they both make it to the end of Season 11, but other than that, we dont know anything about the plot, the other characters or the setting. Are they going to New Mexico? Are they going to find Rick? Is Dog going with them? Details, please!
At the very least, an update on the movies would be nice. But with the flagship series concluding in 2022, we cant imagine bidding farewell to it without either seeing Rick again or at least getting some solid answers as to where he is and why he hasnt come home. The TWD finale would be a perfect time to have him resurface: He could reunite with his daughter, Judith (Cailey Fleming), meet his son, and, of course, see Daryl again. While were at it, some answers about Michonne (Danai Gurira)or even a return appearancewould be pretty awesome, too.
Throughout its seasons, TWD was known for killing off characters in shocking, heartbreaking ways. In the spirit of those early installments, were hoping the show has a few more surprises up its sleeve as far as unexpected ends. But if most of the main characters arent making the jump to the Daryl-Carol spinoff, we hope some of them get happy conclusions. It cant all be doom and gloom for these long-suffering survivors.
Tales of the Walking Dead will be a first for the zombie franchise in that itll tell a series of self-contained stories rather than devoting itself to an overall arc. Were crossing our fingers that some of our favorite characters from seasons past might returnor we might get answers about those terrifying fast zombies from the World Beyond postcredits scene. Either way, we cant wait to see what the show brings us this summer.

Shes back! After close to four years of fans doubting that Fears Madison (Kim Dickens) had really died at the Dell Diamond in Season 4s midseason finale, AMC confirmed that Madison is, indeed, still alive. Dickens will return in Season 7 and star as a regular in Season 8. Were excited to learn how she escaped all those burning walkers and what she was doing in the year between her death and the current timeline. Plus, itll be interesting to see how she fits into the current group dynamicand how she reacts when she learns her son is dead.
Really, wed just like to see the Clark family get more screen time in 2022. Alicias (Alycia Debnam-Carey) story in the first half of Season 7 felt oddly truncatedalthough that mightve been the result of pandemic restrictionsso were hoping she gets more time to shine now that shes going to war with Strand (Colman Domingo). And, obviously, were hoping shes not actually dying of the zombie virus. Or dying at all.
The Walking Dead, Season 11 returns Sunday, Feb. 20, 9/8c, AMC
Fear the Walking Dead, Season 7 returns Sunday, April 17, AMC
