The Walking Dead

'The Walking Dead' is a post-apocalyptic horror drama on AMC that follows a main group of survivors living in a world overrun by zombies. It was developed by Frank Darabont based on the Image Comics series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. 'The Walking Dead' debuted its pilot episode on October 31, 2010 and has since grown to one of television's most-watched series. AMC unceremoniously dismissed Darabont from the series going into its second season, and various reasons, from budgetary issues to creative differences, have been cited. Glen Mazzara replaced Darabont as showrunner of 'The Walking Dead,' though he too would eventually leave over creative differences, leaving Scott Gimple as the current showrunner.

Network: AMC
Air Time: Sundays, 9 p.m. EST
Season 5 Premiere: October, 2014

Cast: Andrew Lincoln, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira and Chad L. Coleman.

All 'Walking Dead' Bosses Sue AMC Over Profit-Sharing

It’s easy to chalk up ex-Walking Dead showrunner Frank Darabont’s legal battles with AMC to growing pains, but it’s something else when all Walking Dead producers turn on the network. AMC has been slapped with lawsuits from Robert Kirkman, Gale Ann Hurd, David Alpert and Glen Mazzara, all alleging similar profit-scheming.

'Walking Dead' Comic Not Ending Says Boss, But Still Planned

The Walking Dead was designed as the zombie story that never ends, though surely neither AMC nor comic creator Robert Kirkman will keep it up forever. News even spread from Comic-Con 2017 that the books might finally come to an end, but while Kirkman himself insists it isn’t true, the wheels may already be in motion.

'Walking Dead' Resumes Production After Stuntman Death

The stunt community and loved ones of Walking Dead performer John Bernecker endured a tragic loss over the weekend, as an on-set accident hospitalized the stuntman and led to his death. The series naturally shut down production on the eighth season, but has since (temporarily) resumed.

All The Gentle Giant SDCC 2017 Exclusives, And Where to Find Them

Gentle Giant has made a name for itself as the purveyor of fine sculpted collectibles over the past decade, and this year's Comic-Con exclusives should prove no different. With licenses ranging from Marvel Comics to The Walking Dead to Star Wars and beyond, Gentle Giant has a little big of something for everyone. At Comic-Con 2017, those somethings might cost you a little bit more time and money, but when it comes to cool 6" statues, it's tough to beat Gentle Giant's selection.

'Walking Dead' Season 8 Halts Filming Over Injured Stuntman

The Walking Dead isn’t generally known for practical stunts, but with Season 8 gearing up for “All Out War,” it stands to reason physical action would increase. As such, the unfortunate hospitalization of stuntman John Bernecker has necessitated Season 8 production take a temporary hiatus.

All The Funko TV SDCC 2017 Exclusives, And Where to Find Them

The good thing about Funko having a hand in as many licenses as it does is that it gives properties that would otherwise be deemed too niche a chance to have some collectibles. As good as Westworld and Stranger Things are, there's just not a lot of market interest for a wide and diverse line of action figures or toys for those things. With its smaller, similarly styled collectibles however, Funko can dabble in just about every character in every property without much muss or fuss. It also means there can be some true deep cuts for San Diego Comic-Con exclusives.
