Walking Dead Could Go 12 Seasons
The Walking Dead is a fan-favorite comic, a fan-favorite show, spinoff show, video game (multiple times) and much more. In fact, you could say that the modern zombie craze is inspired one way or the other by Walking Dead.
Though controversial, the first half of season 06 of the AMC series Walking Dead completed with solid ratings most of the way through, with Season 07 guaranteed, and an 8th all the more likely. Which of course raises the question of when the show can end. If ever. in the comic books, the series is up to #161. Whereas in the show, we’re a little past #100. Add in the long gaps between seasons, a month per issue (or two if they push it), and there’s going to be a lot of ground to cover. But how long can this reasonable go?
Well, Robert Kirkman, the creator of the book, let his thoughts known in Walking Dead #161 stated this:
“It took us 6 seasons to get to 100… It won’t take us 6 years to get to 200 and that will take us to season … TWELVE. And we’ll still be ahead of the show at that point.”
So there you go, if the ratings hold, and interest continues, it could go 12+ season. But will it actually go that far? Only time will tell.

I have watched few episodes of walking dead season 1. Since I am not a fan of zombies, I stopped watching the show. I always wonder why people love zombies.

The Walking Dead seems to be one of them shows that appeals to a wide audience, so it's no surprise to me that it's been going as long as it has.
I have to admit, while I'm not really a fan of this type of genre and it did take me a while to even watch the first episode, even I have grown to love the show.
It does beg the question though, after 12 seasons, just how much longer can it go on without it becoming a little stale?

It's not even about zombies anymore to be honest. It's more about the people and what their actions are now. Trust me, if you started watching it again and just try and go through a few seasons you will start loving it. I was hesitant at first too but ended up loving the show! Binged watched it from season 1 to season 6 in about a month
