Telly’s Take

It is hard to imagine AMC will cancel The Walking Dead, but the story may well be winding to a close. Key cast members seem to be on their way out the door. Even if the creative team is getting ready to wrap things up though, the cable network may still feel motivated to keep it on the air, so we’ll have to wait for word on when they’re planning to end the series. For now, I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsen ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on The Walking Dead cancellation or renewal news.
