Gimple and The Walking Dead Showrunner and Executive Producer Angela Kang. The special will include a performance of "Up on the Housetop" by Kinney, a parody on the "Twelve Days of Christmas," sung by Payton, Andrews, Matsuura and McClincy, and other festive moments throughout, and will debut an exclusive new table read video from "Diverged," one of six new episodes in the extended 10th season.
As previously announced, the six new episodes will debut Sunday, February 28th at 9pm ET/8c followed by a new episode of "Talking Dead" each week. All episodes will be available early on AMC+ every Thursday, prior to the episodes’ linear premieres, beginning February 25.
