The Walking Dead - Season 11 - Official Intro (Episode 11.17)

The Walking Dead has returned for its final premiere, marking the start of Season 11C with the AMC+ release of Episode 11.17 - 'Lockdown' and 11.18 - 'A New Deal', and with these episodes comes a changed title sequence!

With this last batch of episodes, they have decided to go all out by adding 10 new cast members to the titles, and for the first time in the era of the animated style titles, cast members have been credited together in the same shot.

The new additions to the titles include Eleanor Matsuura (Yumiko), Lauren Ridloff (Connie), Cailey Fleming (Judith Grimes), Nadia Hilker (Magna), Cassady McClincy (Lydia), Angel Theory (Kelly), Paola Lazaro (Juanita "Princess" Sanchez), Michael James Shaw (Michael Mercer), Josh Hamilton (Lance Hornsby) and Laila Robins (Pamela Milton).

To accommodate these new arrivals, the title sequence has been extended with new animated sequences, and the main theme tune has also been extended to feature a new composition of the score by Bear McCreary!

On the visual side of things, the shot of the rebuilding barn with the hanging noose from Season 9's intros has made a return. New visuals include a view of the Hilltop in its current state, complete with the banners of the Commonwealth draped over the walls, and a brief, overhead birds-eye view of the Alexandria Safe-Zone has also been incorporated.

In the final section of the titles before the logo, the walkers are now headed towards an army of Commonwealth troopers, and behind them is a skyline landscape on the horizon, with a red coloured sun above.

This then leads into a new end logo, which is now predominantly white, with blood running down a couple sections of the logo lettering.

This opening gave me goosebumps, not did they just add more into this, they changed the vibe towards the end adding more hype than I’ve ever seen in a theme

[fullhousefrek]

I like that they added more people and went back to the first seasons logo for the walking dead

[bhuwin]

Never skipped this once. The zombies facing common wealth looks cool AF animated.

0:37 the inclusion of Rick’s theme in the new episodes is so good.

When I first heard that extended ending part I got emotional for some reason. Just knowing these are the last few episodes of my favorite show 😭

[SupportTheLittleGuy]

Love how they changed the theme a bit finally!!!

[CHRONICLEKAI]

TWD is back!! What a fantastic premiere. Looks like they’re going pedal to the metal for the final eight episodes and I’m all for it!

i just don't know how to describe how amazing this intro is. This new guitar or whatever sound is just beautiful.

This opening is one of the hardest opening in TV series history fr

[toxicramz]

The Bass towards the end is absolutely chilling for some reason

[sethhamilton]

This intro marked at the beginning of the end to the greatest zombie series of all time.

[justdan]

Fr, this intro gave me chills when I heard this

[RE-olws]

Gonna be honest, I was not expecting them to add Angel Theory to the opening credits! Let alone put her above Paola Lazaro. I was also not expecting Lauren Ridloff to be put over Caliey Fleming and Nadia Hilker as well.

RICK IS BACK FOR THE FAMILY LET'S GOOO🎉🎉🎉

[alexblag]

That base with the walkers is something else

[ld]

There's a lot of Easter eggs of past seasons and characters in this opening.

[sammijane]

And for all you music lovers, did you know they recorded a live orchestra dramatic version of this for the final episode ever? We get to hear it in just a few days

[SpartanJoe]

In season 11's defense, this intro does rock.

[Parasmunt]

Love this theme. The graphics send chills up my spine. First death, crows, carrion a dead tree then suddenly life invades - just as powerful. It mirrors the evolution of the show early on it was all about the dead then later on it became more about the living with the zombies as just secondary plot elements.
