Timeline The Walking Dead | Season Eleven

Timeline S11 – SPOILER ALERT

The eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead will try to pull the strings of the last ten years of the saga and prepare viewers for the announced return of Rick and the new spinoff series.
Presented in three blocks of eight episodes each, initially we have seen the group from Alexandria forced to cross the borders of the community in search of food, clash with the new antagonist group of the Reapers, while another small group confronts members of the Commonwealth.
In the second part, the majority of Alexandria’s inhabitants move to the Commonwealth and begin to adapt to a new but mysterious normality, while Hilltop and Oceanside refuse to ally with the unexpected but ambiguous benefactors remaining isolated in their independence.
The third and final part is the moment of confrontation with the authoritarian drift of Commonwealth militarism, with the forced acceptance of a sudden, unprecedented dictatorship, with the opposition to a new but archaic system of social castes. It will be the moment of the definitive battle against the Commonwealth and of a newfound serenity for all future generations.
Below is a timeline with the highlights of TWD’s Eleventh Season.
PS: the dates are approximate but more or less it all happened in those days.
