Coinciding with the big day was the release of the trailer for the final episodes of the highly-popular AMC show – which is currently in it’s 11th season – and gave a hint at the fate of Daryl and the surviving members of the cast.

It went on to show the famous image of Rick riding his horse down an empty highway before flashing to several members of he and Daryl’s group who they have lost from very early in the seasons until the most recent one.
