A show with great ratings, The Walking Dead’s large audience grew last season so there’s essentially no chance that this AMC series will be cancelled for quite awhile. How soon will it be renewed for a seventh season? Stay tuned.
On The Walking Dead, a group of humans struggle to survive and adapt to a world that’s filled with zombies. This season, the large cast includes Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lennie James, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Sonequa Martin-Green, Michael Cudlitz, Alanna Masterson, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Tovah Feldshuh, Alexandria Breckenridge, and Austin Nichols. Which actors will be around for season seven?
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
10/30 update: AMC has renewed The Walking Dead (season seven) and Talking Dead (season six).

What do you think? Do you still like The Walking Dead TV series? How many seasons do you think it should run?
I was a major fan of this show in the early seasons when it was gritty and obscure. But it has since turned into a mainstream piece of snail paced garbage. In the finale they literally drove around in circles for the entire episode after all that hype up. And then NOTHING even happened. Also talking dead is just pathetic dribble for all the lemmings, basically turning tricks for more viewer time. Further more instead of giving the viewers what they deserve, they rotate in Fear the Walking the Dead the very next week instead. Clearly a ratings based publicity… Read more »
Agreed. This show needs to end, it has gone on more than long enough. I don’t care how it ends anymore, I just want it to be over.
Walking Dead is just a drop dead series, hope it’ll continue with many more seasons, the group is like family!
3/ 20/ 16. great episode,!!! thats the 3rd episode in the row, that was great.!! great writing, the show is mush better than the comics.!! love the change, in the show.!! i hope they stay away from the comics more,!! thats why ftw, will become BIG, no comic spoilers,!!
New character, new story, so amazing, some character grow stronger than before, Love it so much
The writing on this show is so inconsistent. It took them 9 episodes to have the herd attack ASZ and in those episodes the pacing was so horrible. There were no on the edge of your seat moments. They are killing people they introduced at the beginning of an episode and want sympathy for them ? They have flash back episodes that are a waste of great characters (Morgan) and even crazier episodes where they introduce new characters in a stupid way ( Dwight and Sherry) . Following the comics page by page is literally ruining this show because the… Read more »
I agree that trying to make the show too much like the comic is hurting it. Why can’t they be separate? I guess the people who make the show are afraid the comic people won’t watch if the show isn’t a lot like the comic. Too bad.
very true.!! thats why fear the walking dead, is going to be better.!! no comics and no spoilers.!!
The biggest thing for me is that they have lost the heart of the show. Things haven’t been the same since they left the prison, but my interest started waning once they got to Alexandria. The characters are too spread out now and the core ones that I’ve come to love over the first several seasons hardly interact anymore. Team family is more like team stranger and they’ve introduced too many new Alexandrian characters way too fast. The whole season feels rushed even though it has taken place over one day, but it’s felt like that since they arrived in… Read more »
wow i new kirkman would sell out.? by bringing negan in to soon. GIVE AMC WHAT THEY WANT, I HOPE THEY PAID YOU IN GOLD AND NOT EMPTY DOLLARS.???
the walking dead season 6 is the best so far. fan cant all make every sundays premiere. some of us have other things to do,? so the ratings wont be the same, every sunday. season 6 will be the best one to date.
This season is terrible thus the continuous drop in ratings
The walking dead should run forever
TWD is a great show. were are the ratings for the 5th episode.?? its taking longer this week. WHY.????????
Its one of the best shows ever and it could run as long as it does super ratings.
i know that. it was an angry post. im just venting against stations that cancel shows cause they dont like their ratings and screw the fans. TWD IS THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW OF ALL THE STATIONS ON TV. that is my point. so just relax.
not even the superbowl gets this ratings.
I’m assuming you mean the Superbowl never gets ratings as low as The Walking Dead? If not then a FYI. Last years Superbowl got a 47 in the 18-49 demo and 114.5 million viewers. Show me when Walking Dead has ever gotten even close to that.
you better recheck Superbowl rating history year 2015 throughout.
Here is a good review
