We're finally going to learn when "The Walking Dead" season 10 finale will air.

Showrunner Angela Kang confirmed on Instagram fans will learn the air date during this year's virtual San Diego Comic-Con event.

Kang responded to a fan in the comments of a post about her recent appearance on AMC's "Friday Night in With the Morgans."

"Announcement at virtual Comic Con!" Kang said when asked about any finale news.

"The Walking Dead" was among the shows postponed due to the coronavirus. In March, AMC announced the season finale would air at a later date as a standalone episode. The show wasn't able to finish post-production in time for air.

There hasn't been a new episode of the show since April 5, 2020.

In a cut scene from Kang's appearance on "Friday Night in With the Morgans," the showrunner teased what fans can expect when the episode airs. 

Expect more of Father Gabriel, Negan, Yumiko, and Princess. Maggie's long-awaited return was hinted at in a teaser for the finale. 

"Now that Alpha's gone and Beta is having to step up into that leadership role with his kind of half Alpha/Beta face," said Kang about the finale. "We're going to see our people take their stand against Beta and the Whisperers."

"TWD" writers Kevin Deiboldt and Corey Reed previously shared with us on Twitter the episode "is worth the wait."
