Oh gosh…and here I thought it was finally over. There is no business keeping this show alive with most of the important cast gone. I won’t be watching.

Season 9 should end the walking dead, bring Morgan to fear, have the whisperers show up in fear as well and let it run out a few more seasons and then let it die. It’s had a great run and it still holds up today as far as entertainment goes.

Morgan is already going to Fear the Walking Dead but I don’t really like that show.

If they keep going like this, there won’t be any characters left on the show.

They should not renew for season 9 they already fucked up well by they i mean scott gimple one of the worst writers/ showrunner also destroyed the core meaning of the entire show without Carl the entire point of the war and any future is nothing. end it on this season i hope they do. you can’t replace a character like that that has so much important roles in the next arc either find a way to keep carl or end the season

Yes it should be renewed. However, the Alexandria storyline ends at the end of the season. Whomever the show runner wants to keep in the show need to get back on the road at the end of the season. Basically 2 areas in 8 years is TOO MUCH!
