The Walking Dead series has aired on AMC since Halloween night, 2010. This is one of the longest-running series on AMC, and in August 2021, the series premiered the first episode of its eleventh and final season. Most fans watch during AMC’s Sunday night viewing, with many subscribing to AMC+ to watch new episodes one week early, but many still enjoy a good binge watch and wait until the new season airs on Netflix.  So, when will season 11 air on Netflix?

There are two schools of thought on the season 11 release on Netflix.

  1. AMC will release season 11, parts 1 and 2, ahead of this fall’s release of the series’ final eight episodes on October 2, 2022.
  2. AMC will wait until all of season 11 has aired on AMC to release the entire final season on the streamer sometime in 2023.

Traditionally AMC would release the previous season one month before the new season’s release date. Since season 11 has been broken into three parts, it is difficult to know the thought process for a Netflix release since there will be no additional seasons after the November 20, 2022 series finale episode.

The Walking Dead season 11 on Netflix

This writer believes AMC will hold off and make viewers wait until the entire Walking Deadseason 11 airs on AMC before any episodes premiere on Netflix. That is my opinion; I have no inside knowledge to back this up.

But, I am basing this on season 10’s schedule and Netflix release date.

Season 10 premiere – October 6, 2019

Season 10 midseason finale – November 24, 2019

Season 10 midseason premiere – February 23, 2020

Season 10 season finale – October 4, 2020

Due to the pandemic, two things happened, there was a HUGE gap in the finale episode airing date, and the pandemic filming restrictions then led to season 10c bonus episodes. AMC didn’t release season 10 on Netflix until July 26, 2021, about a month before the season 11 premiere. They didn’t release season 10 on Netflix before season 10c aired on AMC.

This leads me to believe they will do the same for the final season and hold off a Netflix release of the entire season 11 after all of the episodes air on AMC this fall. This has to come as a blow to those who watch the series on Netflix that were hoping to see parts 1 and 2 of season 11 ahead of part three’s release in October. As I said, I have no inside intel to state this is a fact, I am just using what AMC has previously done.

The end of this series is going to be hard for the fandom, even though there is much to look forward to with several spinoffs in the works. Negan, Maggie, Daryl and Carol’s fates are secured, and they will see the end of the series and beyond, but what about the numerous other characters who are near and dear to viewers? There is no guarantee they will make it out alive.

The Walking Dead will return to AMC on October 2 with episode1117 and AMC+ will air 1117 and 1118 on that date.

The Walking Dead is currently airing its second set of episodes for its eleventh and final supersized season on AMC. Season 11 of The Walking Dead will eventually land on Netflix in many regions around the world including the United States. Here’s when we’re currently expecting the final season of The Walking Dead to be available on Netflix. 

Adapting the comics of the same name, the show has been a staple on both AMC and Netflix (depending on where you live) for years now. Netflix US has carried the show since 2014 with new seasons arriving every year thereafter (except season 10 which was delayed due to COVID-19).

Season 11 is going out with a bang too with an expanded season. The final season is set to consist of 24 episodes which is two more than season 10.

As we’ve covered before, only The Walking Dead is on Netflix. The other spin-off series have all found their way onto other rival streaming services around the world whether that be Amazon Prime, Disney+ or somewhere else.

With the new season beginning its final run on AMC on August 22nd, 2021. It wrapped up its eighth episode on AMC on October 10th before being on a midseason break. It’s currently due to air the remainder of the final season starting on February 20th, 2022 with the episode, “No Other Way”.

The eleventh season will arrive on Netflix in at least 26 countries according to Unogs.


When will Season 11 of The Walking Dead be released on Netflix?

Traditionally, Netflix has got new seasons just before the next one starts on AMC but that won’t be the case here. While we don’t expect that to pull up the date, it’s something to bear in mind. With an expanded season length, that too could have a play on its Netflix release date.

Both Netflix USA and Netflix Canada have received previous seasons together so we expect that trend to continue.

So while we can’t give you an exact date right now, based on past additions of the show, we’re expecting season 11 of The Walking Dead to arrive on Netflix in the United States and Canada sometime between August and November 2022 with September being the most likely release month.

Other regions’ availability dates will vary but all regions that carry the show will see it eventually popup over the course of 2022 or at worst, early 2023.


Will The Walking Dead leave Netflix after season 11 arrives?

Yes, eventually The Walking Dead will leave Netflix although how many years is unknown. We can look at other AMC shows for guidance. If The Walking Dead follows Hell on Wheels departure schedule, we’ll see the show leave Netflix in 2026.

Long term outside the United States, the new streaming home of the show is exclusively on Disney+. That’s where the show currently resides in a number of regions including the United Kingdom.

In the US, we suspect the show will move exclusively to AMC+ eventually.
