But as it stands, the tone of this monumental episode’s conclusion feels needlessly dissatisfying.ĭeparted characters return in hallucinations to talk a wounded Rick-impaled after his literal and symbolic fall off a white horse-through his guilt. If the episode had shed more light on the helicopter mystery, rather than using Rick’s departure to prolong it, maybe the former wouldn’t have undercut the gravitas of the latter. But as the final gut-punch in an episode that so effectively plumbs the depths of Rick’s soul, those questions feel silly and tangential at best. The helicopters are cool, sure, and the questions they pose-like, what sort of place on this zombie-ravaged earth could possibly sustain them? Or what the hell is an “A” and a “B”? And what are they doing with the people Anne hands them?-are certainly intriguing. It’s a lovely moment (Judith’s adorable in that hat), yet maddening for how it sours an otherwise moving, emotional hour with a cliffhanger that shifts focus from Rick Grimes to a mystery about people with helicopters. We only know that years pass without him, long enough for his little girl to grow up and begin living up to his legacy, helping those in need. He could return from the far-off community Anne’s helicopter contact whisks him off to, a place where she says people have lives “like you can’t imagine.” Or we might never see him again.

The final moments of “What Comes After,” the Walking Dead episode billed as series star Andrew Lincoln’s last, confirm that the tortured leader’s exit from the show is nowhere near as final as death. Rick Grimes is not dead, but he is gone-for now.
Basically then, the disappointing lack of finality in this episode’s half-assed conclusion is only a ruse-a set-up for three films AMC describes as the “first projects” in a planned “Walking Dead Universe.” Isn’t corporate storytelling fun? Read on for our breakdown of the episode, viewed in the context of the show and the character it attempts to do justice to. Their aim is to “expand the universe” and “show a whole different corner of the world,” according to Walking Dead EP Scott Gimple.

" We have a lot of thrilling story left to tell on TWD, and then this end will be a beginning of more Walking Dead" Gimple said ( via Digitalspy), "This will be a grand finale that will lead to new premieres." Since a Rick Grimes-centered The Walking Dead project is on the cards, an Andrew Lincoln cameo in season 11's final chapter to set up a future movie trilogy isn't that far-fetched a prediction.Update: AMC announced Sunday night in the minutes after airing the episode it had hyped as The Walking Dead’s “farewell” to Rick Grimes that Andrew Lincoln will reprise the character in three TV movies.
Chief content officer for The Walking Dead, Scott Gimple, did shed some light on the overall direction of the franchise which reveals a few things about season 11 part 3. Story details are scarce, but 11B left the TWD universe in a precarious situation – Hilltop, Alexandria, The Commonwealth no community in the undead apocalypse is safe.

AMC confirmed in 2020 that season 11's three chapters would release over the course of two years. If it follows AMC's usual Walking Dead release schedule (pandemic delays aside), it could air in October 2022. Filming for season 11 part 3 wrapped in March, so it's likely still in production. 11C, the final chapter of both season 11 and the main The Walking Dead show, doesn't have a release date yet. The Walking Dead season 11 was split into three parts, and its final chapter is coming soon. 11A aired between October and August 2021, with the second part screened in February 2022 through to April the same year.
