The Walking Dead returns to Fox on 1 March (not a moment too soon!), and questions about the white-armoured army who ambushed Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), and Princess (Paola Lazaro) will very soon be answered.
FOX has announced that the post-apocalyptic horror TV series' extended 10th season of six new episodes will premiere from 1 March at 03:00 CAT, simulcast with the US, and then again at 20:45 CAT that night, with weekly episodes on FOX (DStv 125).

Although The Whisperer War: Final Showdown - A Certain Doom concluded the chapter on The Whisperers with the horde being led over a cliff-edge, sadly Eugene, Yumiko, Ezekiel, and Princess' journey ended on a, well, more of a cliffhanger.
Despite overcoming one hurdle after the other, as the group arrive at the designated location to meet Eugene's two-way radio lady friend, it appears they are too late. But just as they prepare to dust off their boots, they are ambushed by a white-armoured Stormtrooper-like army.
If the storyline is to follow Robert Kirkman's original The Walking Dead comic books, the army who attacked Eugene's group in the season 10B finale is the Commonwealth - the largest and most advanced community of survivors to appear in the main series.
Channel24 asked The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang about the armoured soldiers and the new faces of season 10C.
Hesitant to step into spoiler territory, Angela says: "They are definitely the entry into a world of other people that our characters will face, and there will be just some unexpected aspects to them."
"We will explore in the episodes that are coming up, more immediately these six episodes that we filmed most recently, just some of the initial interactions that happened with this group. And we will explore it primarily through the point of view of a Princess. But we'll see all those characters that are involved in that journey.
"And what we learn in these episodes is just going to be the tip of the iceberg in terms of what more there is to come with this group, what they're about and what our characters are going to face as they get deeper involved with them," she says.
The latest armoured threat was not the only new characters to be introduced during the season 10B finale as Maggie's (Lauren Cohan) return was accompanied by a masked stranger.
"We will definitely start to learn a little bit more about our masked character that was with Maggie, as well as some other key characters that we will introduce throug these six," says Angela.
Among the new cast this season are Robert Patrick, Hilarie Burton Morgan and Okea Eme-Akwari. Although we won't be introduced to "a lot of new faces" they will be "significant," says Angela.
