The Walking Dead could continue on for decades

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

I've said it before but I'm not a big fan of AMC's THE WALKING DEAD. It's not fair to say I dislike the series because I stopped watching after Frank Darabont was fired back after season 2.

All the same, there are plenty of TWD fans out there and it seems like the show will be keeping those fans happy and horrified for years to come.

AMC CEO Josh Sapan recently spoke about the series and the "franchise" as a whole (including FEAR THE WALKING DEAD) and said that the plan is for the series(s) to continue on for years.

And I mean decades.

Sapan on THE WALKING DEAD:

The use of the word ‘franchise,’ we don’t take lightly. It’s not a sloppy or casual word. We’ve studied the best. Some have been around 30, 40, 50 years. We have a chance for a lot of life in the franchise.

In addition to that, Sapan added that the franchise is “in great shape and the people who are managing that great shape are motivated.”
