“The Walking Dead” will end after the upcoming Season 11 on AMC, with the network also ordering a spinoff series built around the characters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier, Variety has learned.
Season 11 of AMC’s flagship show, which was originally meant to air this year but was delayed due to the pandemic, will air over two years and consist of 24 episodes in total beginning in late 2021. It was previously announced six additional episodes that will be considered part of Season 10 will be shot and aired in early 2021, meaning 30 additional episodes of “The Walking Dead” remain to be filmed and aired through late 2022. The episode originally intended to be the Season 10 finale is set to air on Oct. 4 after being delayed in April, also due to the pandemic.
The untitled Daryl-Carol spinoff will see “The Walking Dead” stars and fan favorites Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride continue on in those roles. The pair have long been praised for their characters’ onscreen chemistry, with Reedus and McBride currently being the only two cast members of the flagship show who have been onboard since Season 1.

End? With the current mayor and his anti-police bias, there will be more special victims for SVU than ever. They might even need Law and Order: Mass Mayhem Unit. In the end of each episode the criminal is let off no matter how good the evidence. In fact, he might be caught and released in the first five minutes with the rest of the episode just more catches and releases without ever going to trial.
This would be funny if it were not actually happening.
Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride must have the two Best Agents Ever. EVER!
Helps to have the best on-screen acting in forever.

It’s not really over then.
It rises from the dead!
Daryl’s character seems too shallow to anchor a series. I’m not sure how well Reedus can act outside of his current limited character. I guess they have 30 episodes to address that.
I always thought that the beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse was the most compelling theme, with people in shock and disbelief of what was happening while learning to cope with the new reality.
I loved, loved, TWD for the first five seasons. And then it became predictable and routine. I haven't watched the show more than sporadically since Negan entered and I found myself rooting more for the zombies to eat the cast members who had become annoying.
*Yes, I know FTWD tried to do this. Somehow they failed and I haven't watched that show since the second season.
Reedus did ok in Boondocks Saints. He played somewhat a similar bad ass character but the movie was enjoyable.
Syfy Orders ‘Day of the Dead’ Series Based Off Romero’s Classic Zombie
Movie
Syfy is getting into the zombie business. The basic cable network has made a straight-to-series order for Day of the Dead, which THR calls “an ode to George A. Romero’s 1985 feature.” The low-cost feature is set to launch in 2021. Per THR, “Day of the Dead tells the story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.

They should jump way further ahead than the kids. Get like 30 years in the future. The world is back. But all the dead still rise. It would be interesting to see a world like ours, only with zombies. How the world changes. Just think of all the places people die, buses, trains, ICUs, all those things now need zombie killers on staff at all times. Might even do it as not a zombie story, maybe a PI show in a zombie world.
I stopped watching years ago. Lost interest in it.
Day of the Dead was not about the first 24 hours of “undead invasion” That would be closer to Night of the Living Dead.
Day was originally to be about a weaponized zombie army to take out the opposition zombies.
Proof that the core audience is southern rednecks and other salt of the Earth who will inherit it ... not the SJW diversity types that they’ve been shoehorning into the show for years.
They’re going to turn it into a racism morality play.
I thought “Fear The Walking Dead” should have been an anthology series, with standalone episodes as well as 2 and 3 part story arcs. They would focus on the disaster at different locations in different time periods with different casts for each story. The early days of the infection, 5 years later, 10 years later, 20 years later.
Try something different than the TWD formula - they wander around, settle someplace, encounter bad humans, deal with zombies in the way as if they are a nuisance, and a big showdown with the bad humans.
>>I always thought that the beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse was the most compelling theme
Agree. The timing issues of when it’s ok to start shooting people, or scavenging. The chaos of untrained people carrying weapons.. The decisions of whether to bug out or fortify... The fluid social dynamics of that period..
“Black Summer” was pretty good in that regard.
