"Evil people aren't the exception to the rule. They are the rule." So says Gabriel in the tense new trailer for The Walking Dead's expanded tenth season.

Comprised of six new episodes, The Walking Dead's extended tenth season will kick off on Sunday, February 28th on AMC.

As previously announced, following the tenth season, The Walking Dead will conclude with a two-year eleventh season consisting of 24 episodes that are scheduled to air through 2022, with a Walking Dead spinoff series slated to debut in 2023 and an anthology series titled Tales of the Walking Dead also in development.

"AMC released today the trailer for the highly-anticipated return of The Walking Dead. The extended 10th season of six new episodes premieres Sunday, February 28 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. All six episodes will also debut early on AMC+, the premium streaming bundle, every Thursday prior to the episodes’ linear premiere on Sundays, beginning February 25.

In these six new episodes, we find our survivors trying to pick themselves up by their bootstraps following the destruction the Whisperers left in their wake. The years of struggle weigh upon them as past traumas surface, exposing their more vulnerable sides. As they question the state of humanity, the state of their collective community, and the states of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships, and group intact?

New guest stars featured in these episodes include Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Perry Mason, Scorpion) as “Mays” and Hilarie Burton Morgan (One Tree Hill, White Collar, Friday Night In with the Morgans) as “Lucille,” along with new co-star Okea Eme-Akwari (Greenland, Cobra Kai) as “Elijah,” among others.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, The Walking Dead is produced by AMC Studios and executive produced by Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner Angela Kang, Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Joseph Incaprera and Denise Huth."
