War. The Kingdom had fallen, Hilltop was virtually destroyed and Alexandria abandoned to prepare for final battle. Our survivors were trapped and separated from one another. Yet, when faced
with almost certain death, they rallied together to fight, killing Beta (Ryan Hurst) and eliminating the threat of the horde. WATCH ON DEADLINE In the upcoming six episodes, we find our
survivors trying to pick themselves up by their bootstraps following the destruction the Whisperers left in their wake. The years of struggle weigh upon them as past traumas surface,
exposing their more vulnerable sides. As they question the state of humanity, the state of their collective community and the states of their minds, will they find the inner strength to
persevere with their lives, friendships, and group intact? AMC also released new episode synopses. Here are the details: EPISODE 1017 – “Home Sweet Home” Director: David Boyd Writers: Kevin
