The Walking Dead Season 10 will end one episode earlier than anticipated, AMC has announced. The season was supposed to end with its 16th episode, but due to production delays brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, it will be wrapping with episode 15 instead, according to a statement released by the network:
“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 Sunday, April 5. The planned finale will appear as a special episode later in the year.”
The Season 10 finale was originally expected to air on April 12. Season 10 of The Walking Dead has already featured plenty of twists, with an unexpected death in episode 12, and an emotional exit for a long-running character in episode 13, which aired on March 22.
The Walking Dead is the latest in a long line of TV and movie projects to be hit with delays related to the coronavirus outbreak. While The Walking Dead had already wrapped filming on Season 10, the industry-wide shutdown has also affected post-production on many projects, and pre-production on Season 11 has also been delayed for at least a month.
