Keen for some violence and action? The Walking Dead season 11 premiered a while ago in September 2021. The season is to air 24 episodes, and the first batch of the season has already been aired. While the first batch was terrifying enough, it is likely that you are not prepared for all the action that will ensue in the second and the third batch of the season. 

The latest trailer for the second batch of the series' episodes was recently dropped by AMC, and the one detail that really piqued every viewer's interest was seeing Carol, played by Mellissa McBride, baking cookies, AGAIN! If you have been keeping tabs on all the seasons of The Walking Dead and are a hardcore fan, you really must remember the last time the horrifying Carol baked some cookies. 

If not, here is a quick recap. Back in season 5 of The Walking Dead, Carol was seen stealing the gun's from the community by a small child. When Carol realized a kid had seen her, she gave the child a bit of a fright. She began by saying that if little Sam told his mother about Carol stealing the guns, then "one morning you'll wake up, and you won't be in your bed." 

Continuing her horrifying stream of threats, she said, "You'll be outside the walls, far, far away, tied to a tree. And you'll scream and scream because you'll be so afraid. No one will come to help because no one will hear you. Well, something will hear you. The monsters will come — the ones out there."

Because Carol is not the one to stop at small threats, she made sure that the poor child was as afraid as he could be. "And you won't be able to run away when they come for you. They will tear you apart and eat you up all while you're still alive. All while you can still feel it," she said before presenting her deal. "Or you can promise not to ever tell anyone what you saw here, and then nothing will happen — and you'll get cookies. Lots of cookies!"

Hence, there is no way that Carol baking cookies again is a simple act emerging out of her love for baking the goodies and not of something very horrifying. Most likely, Carol has come around to old ways and is once again on the brink of doing something undercover that could have a very disastrous effect on the people involved. 

In the recent trailer shared by AMC, Carol can be seen with a full tray of baked cookies. Maybe the cookies are for her new neighbors in the Commonwealth, or maybe, they are not. The trailer also showed Pamela Milton and Daryl taking one-on-one against Leah. The shots also depict a highly gory scene featuring some human blood and gore. Of course, there are zombies concerned, too. 

If you think this is highly violent, you really do not know much of the history of The Walking Dead. The series has a long list of episodes that will totally chill your blood. Lately in the season, the audience got to see a special episode directed by Greg Nicotero, the horror legend, and frankly, the series did feel like a haunted house movie at its very best. 

The episode featured everything from humans gone awry looking to have their share of human blood and the trapped duo, Connie and Virgil, played by Lauren Ridloff and Kevin Carroll, respectively. Apart from the horror house movie music playing in the background, there is a lot of blood in the horror house and some of the characters the audience cares so much about. The particular episode also showed Daryl going a little unhinged as he tortured one of his allies in a bid to win over the trust of the Pope and the Reapers.

Sharing everything about season 11 of the show and where the series is headed with its very violent streak of episodes, showrunner Angela Kang told Collider some never known before inside details of the series.  

Describing how the series decided to make its big comeback for a show that has been beloved by people around the world, despite the pandemic, the creators found a way of storytelling that would really captivate the audience. 

Kang detailed, "We were like, "We want to have a big entrance." And then, of course, the pandemic slid everything around, but some of our scheduling had to hold because we were already so far down the line." Retelling the coming of Connie to the season, the showrunner said, "But we were like, "How do we give her just a really cool reentry story?" And we were like, "Let's put her and Virgil into some kind of a fun horror movie for an episode."  

Connie being deaf, there is so much to her story. Describing how the team decided to cut off audio in Connie's episodes, Kang said, "In post-production, we started playing with it, and some of the scenes really just lent themselves to being in Connie's perspective, because there's a certain horror that comes with that in that she's got to be that much more aware, using her sense of sight and touch and all that."
