"The Walking Dead" Season 10 finale air date will be announced during the three-day virtual Comic-Con event next week, the AMC drama’s showrunner Angela Kang confirmed.

Kang shared the update regarding the air date of "The Walking Dead" Season 10 final episode while responding to comments on an Instagram post about her appearance on "Friday Night in With the Morgans."

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

Fans can get more updates about "The Walking Dead" during Comic-Con@Home, which runs from July 23 to 26, as the show will be bringing many of its team members for online panels.

The event will be moderated by “Talking Dead” host Chris Hardwick, and the panel will feature chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and executive producer Greg Nicotero. Cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Morgan, Cohan, Josh McDermitt, Ross Marquand and Paola Lazaro, among others, will also be making appearances.

Kang will also be a part of the panel for "The Walking Dead," which will take place on July 24 at 4 p.m. EDT.

This year’s Comic-Con@Home is free for everyone to watch from home.

"The Walking Dead" was one of the shows that were postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In March, it was announced that the Season 10 finale, which supposed to drop April 12, would air later this year as a standalone episode.

The penultimate episode of "The Walking Dead" Season 10, titled "The Tower," aired April 5.

Meanwhile, though spoilers for the upcoming episode are sparse, "The Walking Dead" fans know that the series does not hesitate to kill off major characters. Thus, there has been speculation that one important character will bid goodbye when the season ends.

Den of Geek believes one of the casualties could be Father Gabriel, who is played by Seth Gilliam.

Father Gabriel has come a long way since his first appearance in Season 5. From a coward priest to the leader of a group of survivors, the character has had a huge transformation. Eliminating Father Gabriel would ensure more power to Alpha and the Whisperers.

Also, in "The Walking Dead" comics by Robert Kirkman, the source material for the television series, Father Gabriel dies in The Whisperer War as he gets ready to face the horde of zombies.
