AMC Unable to Complete The Walking Dead Season 10

With just under three weeks left until the planned season 10 finale of The Walking Dead, AMC has taken to the hit show’s Twitter account to break the news to fans that due to concerns of the global coronavirus outbreak, post-production on the season finale can not be completed and therefore will need to wrap the season early with plans to air the finale at a later date.

Warning: Minor Spoilers Lie Ahead For The Walking Dead Season 10

On a somewhat brighter note, the latest episode of the tenth season saw longtime star Danai Gurira (Black Panther) depart the series, heading off to search for her still-alive love Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) after what seemed like his demise to many characters in the season 9 episode “What Comes After.” In response to the episode, Lincoln took to Instagram to share a farewell message to Gurira, singing a song in honor of her departure.

The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell.

It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season 9 when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after-effects of Alpha’s horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable.

But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society. The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance.

The Walking Dead stars Norman Reedus, Gurira, Melissa McBride, Cailey Fleming, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Cooper Andrews, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Avi Nash, Nadia Hilker, Lauren Ridloff, Angel Theory, Dan Fogler, Samantha Morton, and Ryan Hurst. Thora Birch and Kevin Carroll have joined the cast for Season 10.
