“[W]e’ll start seeing more stories again like the first episode — it's got everybody on Earth in the episode,” she said. “And tons of zombies and lots of action and fun and intrigue, and locations we've never seen, and things like that. So just stylistically, there will be a change from these six [pandemic-shot bonus episodes] that we just watched back into our normal season.”
As for the stories that will drive the final season, Kang confirmed that we will be learning more about the new community teased at the end of Season 10 — which many assume is The Commonwealth seen in the comic series — and long-running stories for fan favorite characters will come to a head. She teased a story for Daryl (Norman Reedus) that will put him in a “very different context,” likely following up on the mysterious romantic relationship teased in those bonus episodes.
