"Acheron: Part II" is the second episode of the eleventh season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead. The second of a two-part season premiere, the episode was written by showrunner Angela Kang and Jim Barnes, and directed by Kevin Dowling.[1] "Acheron: Part II" was released on the streaming platform AMC+ on August 22, 2021, before airing on AMC on August 29, 2021.[2] The first part aired on AMC one week earlier.[3]
In the episode, continuing where the previous episode left off, the group led by Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is trapped inside an underground subway car surrounded by lurking walkers. With very little ammo and energy remaining, the group must ready themselves as the undead have found a way inside the subway train. Elsewhere, Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) challenges the process at the Commonwealth outpost, which threatens her future and that of Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), and Princess (Paola Lázaro).
The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, though many felt that splitting the episode into two parts was unnecessary.
