The Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror television series for AMC based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. The series features a large ensemble cast as survivors of a zombie apocalypse, trying to stay alive under near-constant threat of attacks from zombies, colloquially known as "walkers". However, with the fall of humanity, these survivors also face conflict from other living survivors who have formed groups and communities with their own sets of laws and morals, often leading to hostile conflict between the human communities. Andrew Lincoln played the series's lead character, Rick Grimes, until his departure during the ninth season. Other long-standing cast members have included Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Josh McDermitt and Christian Serratos.
The series is exclusively broadcast on AMC in the United States and internationally through the Fox Networks Group.
The series premiered on October 31, 2010. The tenth season premiered on
October 6, 2019, and has been renewed for an eleventh season. AMC
stated their intent to continue further development of the series and
related media. A spinoff series Fear the Walking Dead premiered on August 23, 2015, and is renewed for a sixth season. A second spinoff, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, is set to premiere in 2020. AMC has announced plans for three films to follow Rick's story after Lincoln's departure.
The Walking Dead is produced by AMC Studios within the state of Georgia, with most filming taking place in the large outdoor spaces of Riverwood Studios near Senoia, Georgia. The series was adapted from the comic by Frank Darabont, who also served as the showrunner
for the first season. However, conflicts between Darabont and AMC
forced his departure from the series, and which is currently subject to
multiple lawsuits by Darabont and others. Following Darabont, Glen Mazzara, Scott M. Gimple, and Angela Kang have all served as showrunners.
Beginning with its third season, The Walking Dead
has attracted the most 18- to 49-year-old viewers of any cable or
broadcast television series, though viewership has declined in later
seasons. In addition, although the series has been well received by
critics in its earlier seasons, reception has also declined as the
series has progressed.[3] It has been nominated for several awards, including the Writers Guild of America Award for New Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama.[4][5]
The Walking Dead takes place after the onset of a worldwide zombie apocalypse.
The zombies, colloquially referred to as "walkers", shamble towards
living humans and other creatures to eat them; they are attracted to
noise, such as gunshots, and to different scents, e.g. humans. Although
it initially seems that only humans that are bitten or scratched by
walkers can turn into other walkers, it is revealed early in the series
that all living humans carry the pathogen responsible for the mutation.
The mutation is activated after the death of the pathogen's host, and
the only way to permanently kill a walker is to damage its brain or
destroy the body, such as by cremating it.
The series centers on sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes,
who wakes up from a coma. While in a coma, the world has been taken
over by "zombies." He becomes the leader of a group of survivors from
the Atlanta, Georgia,
region as they attempt to sustain and protect themselves not only
against attacks by walkers but by other groups of survivors willing to
use any means necessary to stay alive.
Season 3 (2012–13)
Eight months after fleeing Hershel's farm, Rick's group finds a
prison, which they clear of zombies to make their new home. Lori dies in
childbirth, and Rick becomes withdrawn. Meanwhile, Andrea is rescued by Michonne and the two discover Woodbury, a fortified town led by a man known as the Governor.
He learns of Rick's group at the prison, leading to conflict between
them. Rick's group eventually raids and destroys Woodbury, but the
Governor ultimately has Andrea killed and escapes. Woodbury's citizens
live with Rick's group at the prison.[10]
