The penultimate episode, 'Family', left with viewers with a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers with the life of Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) left in the balance after being accidentally gunned down and Carol, Maggie, Negan set to be swallowed up by an approaching herd of smarter variant zombies who can climb walls and open doors.

Ominously titled 'Rest In Peace', the show's grand finale is an extended 90-minute episode which is set to be one of the few instalments in the entire run to have been directly adapted from the respective comic volumes of the same name.

Having somehow managed to fend off all of what the zombie apocalypse has thrown at them up until to this point – from threats from the Commonwealth Governor Pamela Milton to the Whisperers – can the survivors win one final battle to determine their fate?

While the show may be about to end, its not all doom and gloom, with plenty to keep fans occupied after this concluding episode. There's the crossbow-tastic Daryl Dixon spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City to look forward to, while the post-apocalyptic universe will also be kept alive with Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond as well as the anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead.
