The latest teaser comes just over a month after fans of The Walking Dead were given their first official glimpse at the upcoming season through a series of photographs.
A fast succession of images bursts across the screen in a new trailer titled ‘Threatened,’ featuring fresh footage from The Walking Dead’s forthcoming final season. Along with the major protagonists in the brand-new teaser, there was one image that unveiled the Reapers for the first time.
The image showed the closed-off survivors standing together, their victims hung upside down on both sides of the road. The photographs display brand new character posters, including Jeffery Dean Morgan’s Negan knocking out a zombie.

Nothing is known about the individual members of the Reapers before to or during the zombie outbreak at this time. Given their effectiveness in both stealth and battle, it’s more than likely that some, if not all, of the group’s members received military training. It’s also likely that some of the participants knew each other before to the apocalypse’s onset.
Following the zombie outbreak, a person known as “Pope” founded the Reapers, who eventually began raiding survivor villages and executing innocent survivors on their leader’s orders, despite the fact that these groups had done nothing to the Reapers previously. As seen in the previous season of The Walking Dead, the Reapers attacked Maggie’s group despite having had no prior problems with them, causing her and her surviving members to flee back to Virginia, where the Reapers pursued them and killed them owing to Pope’s “marking.”
On the episode “Home Sweet Home,” as well as the first half of Season 11, the Reapers will serve as the primary antagonistic group.
We finally have our first official look thanks to the brand-new teaser, though everything else about the Reapers remains a mystery. Make sure to see the new video as well!
The final season will premiers on 22nd August 2021 on AMC and will have 24 episodes.
