The eight‑episode run, released weekly, follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they forge an uneasy alliance to rebuild a post‑apocalyptic Manhattan while fending off the threat of New Babylon. New characters debut this season: Renata (Aimee Garcia), Dillard (Jimmi Simpson) and Luis (Raúl Castillo). Seth Hoffman serves as the new showrunner, replacing Eli Jorne. Critical reception was exceptionally strong, with Rotten Tomatoes awarding a perfect 100 % Tomatometer based on the first five critic reviews. The premiere episode, titled “Trillium”, opened the season and included a dedication to voice‑actor Rif Hutton, who died earlier in 2026. The season is available on-demand after its weekly broadcast, with all prior seasons also accessible on the respective platforms.
