People who will be returning are Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos), Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam), Magna (Nadia Hilker), Lydia (Cassady McClincy), and Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), among others.
We also know that Connie is still alive, so Lauren Ridloff will be back, and there's also Maggie, played by Lauren Cohan. Cohan described the news of her return as "completely surreal" during at New York Comic Con. "It feels just like home. It feels so emotional. It feels really, really emotional. I feel like this is a very special Comic-Con and a very special family and I'm really happy to be here.", Digitalspy reported.

Since season 11 is The Walking Dead's finale, it will probably tie up loose ends (assuming the developers don't want to save answers for spin-offs). With 24 planned episodes, the final season will have more than enough time.
According to The Walking Dead's showrunner Angela Kang, via Deadline, season 11 will be "bigger than ever." She explained, "The stakes will be high — we'll see more zombies, tons of action, intriguing new stories, never-before-seen locations and our groups together in one community for the first time, trying to rebuild what the Whisperers took from them." |
That's an interesting hook; every major player working under one roof for the common goal of recovering from the Whisperers, but there's more to it than that. Since Michael James Shaw will play the Commonwealth's military leader Mercer, the community will serve a major role in the season. Add in other dangling plot threads, such as the Maggie/Negan blood feud and the new hostile faction known as The Reapers, and audiences have a lot of story to look forward to, Looper noted.

A full trailer has not been released for The Walking Dead’s final season yet, but the show is teasing glimpses of the upcoming episodes via short teasers on social media. They’re showing up weekly, so be sure to keep checking Twitter for a closer look at what Season 11 has in store. So far, we’ve seen snippets of what looks like an interrogation room, ice cream cones, a bakery cake (with a cash register sound in the background), a subway station, and a courthouse with a gavel. Each is accompanied by foreboding background music, and there are several blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cuts to unfamiliar photographs and other footage.
The teasers might be setting up the Commonwealth from the comics, which was advanced enough to have things like restaurants, practicing lawyers, and other pieces of the “past.”, Bustle noted.
