‘The Walking Dead’ was an AMC juggernaut
The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic horror series based on a comic books series of the same name. The show premiered on AMC in 2010 and immediately took off, gaining popularity among audiences of all ages. Many fans and critics praised the show for being partially responsible for a TV renaissance.
The show’s first few seasons followed Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes, a police officer who wakes up from a coma years later to find the zombies have inhabited most of the world. Rick then bands together the last few survivors and leads them against the zombies, known as walkers.
The series boasts an ensemble cast, who kept the show alive after Lincoln left. Remaining cast members include Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier and Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon. Others who left include Steven Yeun (Glenn Rhee) and Chandler Riggs (Rick’s son, Carl Grimes), and Danai Gurira (Michonne, Rick’s love interest).
