Despite a big drop in the ratings last year, The Walking Dead remained AMC’s highest-rated scripted show. It’s doubtful anyone was worried that The Walking Dead would be cancelled and indeed, it’s already been renewed for season 11. Will the ratings take another big fall? How long can this TV series continue? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A zombie apocalypse drama based on the Robert Kirkman comics, season 10 of The Walking Dead stars Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Danai Gurira, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Khary Payton, Cooper Andrews, Avi Nash, Callan McAuliffe, Nadia Hilker, Eleanor Matsuura, Lauren Ridloff, Cailey Fleming, Samantha Morton, Cassady McClincy, and Ryan Hurst. The story started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. The 10th season picks back up with the group in Oceanside as they continue to train in case The Whisperers return. Tensions are high as the heroes struggle to hold onto their concept of civilization.
