Today AMC announced that they are pushing The Walking Dead Season 10 Finale, originally scheduled to air April 12th, to a later date this year due to “current events” affecting their post-production schedule. The next two episodes will still air as planned, with Episode 1015 acting as the Season 10 Finale and Episode 1016 airing as a special episode later.
This follows last week’s news that The Walking Dead: World Beyond was also getting pushed back to later in the year. Warner Brothers, Universal, Paramount, and a bevy of other studios have also postponed their releases or moved them to streaming after COVID-19 has virtually shut down the industry. Read the press release below:
“Current events have unfortunately made it impossible to complete post-production of The Walking Dead Season 10 finale, so the current season will end with its 15th episode on April 5. The planned finale will appear as a special episode later in the year.
The first 8 episodes of The Walking Dead Season 10 will be available for free on http://AMC.com and the AMC app, immediately following the last Season 10 episode on Sunday, April 5 through Friday, May 1.”
Additionally, Walking Dead Executive Producer/Visual Effects Master Greg Nicotero had this to say about the delay:

Keep it here for more updates as we get them. Stay safe out there, guys, and heed the CDC warnings, as shown below.
What does it have to do with season 10 for part 1?
Please complete Chapter 10
This is fucking bullshit this season was already completed now you are just being assholes and postponing so you can run the new series back to back fuck that we deserve our finale most of us have been watching since the begining and now you pull this shit
One of the Best seasons and I’ve watched everyone of them and my two girls and partner have bought all the DVDs ,I still wear my walking Dead hoodie but it’s getting a bit worn out now and I got a mug for Mother’s Day and I’m a young 66yrs ,Love you guys and having withdrawal Symptoms already .Stay Safe From the northeast Northumberland England ???????
I understand this and I might go crazy if there is a Episode 15 cliffhanger at the end
Stay safe everyone
WHAT?! Are you serious?! You are postponing the finale?! In the middle of lock down HELL, and the 1 thing I look forward to seeing is not going to show the season Finale?! I’m sorry, this may seem irrational, but I am livid!!!
With everything thats going on i understand
We all need to stay safe
This has to be the biggest bunch of bullshit and con job! What does this have to do with the crap going on now? Just show it and put us out of our misery cause it isn’t groundbreaking tv , AMC!
so it will come back they don’t have to wait to long for it right
Why on earth does Daryl look as if he had died and turned on this visual ?
As annoying as it is I understand this choice, it’d be impossible to do all post production shit while limiting people allowed in rooms at a time etc. All I’m saying is it better be worth the wait lmao
Thank you for ALL THAT YOU DO!! God Bless you all and I’m praying you ALL stay healthy and safe! Thank you for keeping your fans, including me, in the loop and We will look forward to t h e Season 10 Finale!!
wow nice
B.S. and you know it.
I’m so glad there are people on here who have the ability to read the article and or know a smidgen of the amount of work that goes into post production of…well anything. Heck never mind a show of this nature.
So thanks to those that are disappointed but understanding.
To those that are upset and calling it bs and such. You should go watch a YouTube video on how hard it is to do the post on a TV show. I mean what else are you gonna do?
We should take a moment to realize that the people who make this can get sick just like us. They have children, spouses, grandparents, mother’s, father’s, friends that they care about. They have jobs that they can’t go to. They’re probably not getting paid like you.
Be reasonable. Have a modicum of understanding.
Yeah.. your right. We all remember that CGI deer a few years ago..they might need another year.
Stay well cast and hope to see you soon on amc. Thanks again and god speed
I understand I want everyone safe but damn this just sucks!!!!
This show(TWD) is and has been, the GREATEST show on television!!! You are left with knowing and loving these characters like family!! I can’t say enough great things about this show, it’s cast and crew!! Thank you for some of the best memories ever! Here’s to another 10 years!!!!!
This is such drama queen BS. They’re just worried about ratings and this is now hyped so that more will want to watch. Bunch of drama queens…
Horseshit the finale wasn’t done before the virus.
Miss all y’all one the Walking Dead!! Will be so glad when y’all get to come back!!
