    Viewing figures for the latest episode and the first post-Rick held steady. With mid-season coming up you'd assume the show will hold off a further decline for now

      Angela Kang, showrunner on AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” has posted a video announcing the series has been renewed for a tenth season. The announcement comes ahead of the ninth season’s midseason premiere this Sunday and check out a sneak peek of the episode below. The second half of “The Walking Dead” S9 finds our groups […]


      AMC have greenlit The Walking Dead: Season 10

        Lauren Cohan on her future as Maggie on 'The Walking Dead.' Is she returning for the back half of Season 9? Plus, a Maggie spinoff movie?


        Lauren Cohen seems to suggest there have been some early talks about TWD TV movies about Maggie also

        ...yeah, pass.

          Another hit to the shows lasting popularity on the cards it seems...

          Comment


            AMC’s once unassailable zombie show juggernaut “The Walking Dead” has fallen – hard. This past Sunday’s episode hit an all-time low in the ratings – pulling in a 1.7 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 4.5 million viewers total. That’s the least watched episode of the series since the second episode of the first […]


            Well, Rick is gone and The Walking Dead has returned from its mid-season break to step boldly forward pushing for a fresh and bright future... or not.

            Ratings for the return episode hit 4.5m viewers and 1.7 rating which is the lowest viewing figures have been since Episode 2 of Season 1. The show is now nearing a loss of 13m viewers from its peak of 17.3m in Season 5. The show remains the networks most watched show but the chief concern is that it seems unable to stop the rapid decline.

              I'm loving the episodes since Rick left.


              Negan and Judith are adorable, and it's nice to see him with a kid after Carl popped off. It looks ruddy awful on Hulu, though. A blurry mess.

                AMC Network executives have reportedly hinted that the company is developing a second “The Walking Dead” spin-off. The company has “hired creative people that have pitched story outlines. We feel very good about the development of that series” said AMC Networks COO Ed Carroll during a conference call with investors Thursday. Executives declined to offer […]

                  Trailer for Fear the Walking Dead that I literally forget is still even a thing:

                  Seems to have gained little coverage but astoundingly the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead logged the shows lowest viewing figures in its entire history seemingly cementing that a perceived improvement in quality is still failing to stem the collapse of the shows viewership.

                    AMC’s zombie apocalypse series “The Walking Dead” continues its steady dive with Sunday night’s ninth season finale proving to sink to an all-time finale low for the show. Titled ‘The Storm,’ the episode raked in 5 million viewers overall and 1.9 rating in the key demo. That’s down by 37% in viewers and 44% in […]


                    The final episode of Season 9 saw an uptick in viewers to 5m but still recorded the lowest number of viewers for any season of the shows history. Timeshifted figures are said to paint a better picture though

                      So is no one here watching this any more, then?

                      Just finished season 9. Shame about the viewership numbers but hopefully they pick up.

                        AMC has announced that a third series based on Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” comics is in the works. The series will reportedly center on two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation which has come-of-age during the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes, others villains and all will be […]


                        AMC has greenlit a new Walking Dead spin-off. The new show will run for a 10 episode first season and will focus on two female leads who are amongst the first to have grown up amongst the dead. The new show will start airing next year.

                          Not that I’ll watch this but, having read most of the comics and watched the show up to whatever Governer season happened and now having just completed the final season of the game and replaying season 1, it is abundantly clear to me that the zombie apocalypse gets far less interesting the more established it is. Seeing people going from having normal lives to suddenly having to survive in an unknown situation is where the hook is. People having grown up among the dead feels like it’s only one step above “don’t you want to see what the world of the Walking Dead was like before the zombie apocalypse?”. Give that idea time...

                            It's the same with every zombie story pretty much ever, it's all about watching society panic and crumble. The reality of the situation is ironically probably more like how Shaun of the Dead portrays it, an uncontrolled outbreak over several days before authorities manage some form of control over it. That doesn't work for writers as well though so they go full apocalypse but then you're in the same territory as Walking Dead where it's an endless trudge. The gang meets violent group of survivors after violent group of survivors because the world they inhabit doesn't allow for any other real threat except the dead and it becomes just... tiring. There's no solution to the TWD world scenario so everything they face is meaningless. The show can try and position its arc as about being about people and surviving but after one season that tale is told. There's no tension over character fates either because ultimately you know they will all die on or off screen, the world they're in allows for nothing else.

                            It's why Resident Evil etc become increasingly stupid as they tap out the zombie mileage early so have to introduce other elements to remain engaging, TWD doesn't have that option so it becomes sheer trudge. AMC will just hasten that burn out by adding another show to the mix.

                            People used to say Lost needed an endgame during S2 and 3 but TWD is years past the need for one.

                            Maybe they should head to whatever car factory seemed to still be making new car models for the shows sponsors post-apocalypse a few seasons back

                                It’s the most shocking death to hit “The Walking Dead” – itself. Writer Robert Kirkman has unexpectedly announced that his long-running horror comic will come to an end – this week in fact. The new issue, the triple sized No. #193, is about to be released and in an essay, Kirkman has confirmed it will […]


                                The Walking Dead comics are ending - this week. The triple length Issue 193 will be the final instalment meaning the show only has a short couple of seasons till it completely ends up in original content only
