The Walking Dead season 10 bonus episode images give a look at Negan’s past

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Six bonus episodes of The Walking Dead's tenth season will begin airing on AMC as of February 28th, although AMC+ streaming service subscribers will be able to see the first bonus episode a week earlier (and subsequent episodes three days before they air on AMC). These episodes have been described as "deep dives" into the show's characters – and one of them is even directly inspired by Here's Negan, a standalone volume of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series that dug into the origin of the formerly villainous character played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

A batch of new images from the Here's Negan episode have been released online and can be seen below. They give a look at Negan before he became the leader of the Saviors, and one image shows his wife Lucille (played by Morgan's wife Hilarie Burton Morgan).

Here's the full line-up of bonus episodes: 

EPISODE 1017 – “Home Sweet Home”
Maggie (Lauren Cohan) has returned with a story she is not ready to share, even when her past catches up to her. Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan,) safety is at stake again. Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Maggie fight an unseen and unknown threat.
Director: David Boyd
Writers:  Kevin Deiboldt & Corey Reed

EPISODE 1018 – “Find Me”
An adventure for Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) turns sideways when they come across an old cabin. It takes Daryl back to the years when he left the group after Rick disappeared as he relives a time that only the apocalypse could manifest.
Director: David Boyd
Writer: Nicole Mirante-Matthews

EPISODE 1019 – “One More”
Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) search for food and supplies to bring back to Alexandria. Small tragedies lead to bigger tragedies as faith is broken and optimism is fragmented when they are put to the ultimate test.

EPISODE 1020 – “Splinter”
Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), and Princess (Paola Lázaro) are captured and separated. Princess struggles with memories of her traumatic past and tries to escape one way or another with the help of Ezekiel.

EPISODE 1021 – “Diverged”
Daryl and Carol come to a fork in the road and head their separate ways. Each going into their own type of survival mode, the easiest of challenges become much harder. Will their individual journeys be the tipping point needed to mend their friendship or is the distance between them permanent?
Director: David Boyd
Writer: Heather Bellson 

EPISODE 1022 – “Here’s Negan”
Carol takes Negan on a journey, hoping to minimize the increasing tension.  Negan reflects on the events that led him to this point and comes to a conclusion about his future.
