The Walking Dead is a TV series that aired on AMC Cable with 11 seasons in 12 years i.e. 2010 to 2022. The 11th season has three 8-episode parts. Its reviews are off-the-charts with 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.1 IMDB rating. The show is considered a paragon among its viewers and critics. However, there are some critics who do acknowledge a few of the mishaps, but that doesn’t change how excellent the storyline, character development, and BGM really is.


The characters fighting for survival in a world full of zombies may sound like a cliche, but it isn’t. It is based on a comic book series written by Robert Kirkman, and the production, directors, and actors have done a breathtaking job in making it real - the fights, gore, and action with guns blazing and drama with love affairs and interpersonal conflicts. This emphasizes human cruelty and survival instincts, even during and post a zombie apocalypse.


What is the plot of Walking Dead?


Officer Rick Grimes wakes up in a hospital from a coma and by that time an apocalypse has struck the world. He searches for the doctors, and his wife and children, but all he finds are zombies. During his search for people, he accidentally found Morgan, a man who thought that Rick was a zombie and assaulted him. Then they ate food and Morgan explained the what, when and how of things.


Morgan asks him to leave for Atlanta as there is a safe colony for people there. Though he is reunited with his family in Atlanta, how did he reach Atlanta? How many people are there? Will they survive? Who are more dangerous, zombies or people? Walking Dead is a journey filled with human cruelty, action sequences, gore and fights mixed with horror and jump scares every now and then.


What is season 11 of Walking Dead about?

Will there be a 12th season of The Walking Dead?


Unfortunately, there is no 12th season. Its writers are not renewing the series, but are ending the franchise after twelve years with its 11th season. Fans still assumed the possibility of just marketing the idea of ending it, but still continuing, similar to the show Attack on Titan. However, this seems very unlikely.


But the good news is that numerous spin-offs are under work, with separate and stand-alone series of Daryl, Maggie, Rick, and Michonne. Thus, the franchise is nearly over, but its branches are deep enough and maybe will take shape someday.
