The Walking Dead is credited with launching a zombie craze in popular culture throughout the 2010s, and was the most popular show on cable for several years. Even though the show isn’t as fresh as it used to be, AMC still considers it the star brand of the network, and has boasted as recently as last year that they could see it going on forever. Apparently they changed their minds (or the people who thought so were fired)…an end date was just announced for the post-apocalyptic series.
Due to an actual civilization-altering event, it’s been an unusual season for The Walking Dead…everything in Season 10 was edited and done with up to the final episode. That single episode turned out to be impossible to complete under lockdown, and had to be delayed until next month, when it will air as a “special” October 4. Also, it’s not really the end of Season 10 anymore.
AMC has tacked an additional six episodes to the order for season 10, and though it’s not clear why, those episodes will air...
