Last year, The Walking Dead TV show had another huge ratings drop, yet it still finished as AMC’s most-watched TV series by a huge margin. Now that it is back for a ninth season, will more of the audience return? Given its long reign at the top of the cable network’s Nielsen ratings, The Walking Dead is unlikely to be cancelled by AMC anytime too soon, but how long will the creative team want to continue? Key cast members are already on their way out the door. Will The Walking Dead come to an end, or will it be renewed for season 11 and beyond? Stay tuned. **Status update below.

The ninth season of The Walking Dead on AMC kicks off a year and a half after the end of the war. Rick Grimes (Lincoln) is leading the survivors as they try to rebuild civilization. As time goes by, they face all kinds of obstacles, dangers, and yes, walkers, but none of them are ready for a new threat to the very idea of civilization itself.
