The Walking Dead is the biggest show on television so it should come as no surprise that AMC renewed the series for a seventh season…
It looks like Rick Grimes will be fighting zombies for at least another season.
AMC officially renewed The Walking Dead for season 7 on Friday, which comes as no surprise considering the show gets the biggest ratings on all of television, often times beating out NFL football games in the coveted 18-34 year old demographic.
AMC also renewed The Walking Dead post show The Talking Dead, hosted by Chris Hardwick, for another season as well.
“Thank goodness someone had a Magic 8-Ball with them in our many long internal meetings about this renewal,” AMC President Charlie Collier joked about the series. “When, on the third shake, ‘without a doubt’ filled the murky blue screen, we knew we had to proceed with new seasons of ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Talking Dead.’
“All joking aside, we are so proud to share these shows with fans who have been so passionate, communicative and engaged. We are grateful for and continually impressed by the talent, effort and excellence on continuous display by Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Chris Hardwick and the many people with whom we partner to make these unique shows possible. The result: More Walking and Talking. Hooray.”
The Walking Dead has been the No. 1 show in the 18-49 year old demographic for the past three years with The Talking Dead consistently remaining a ratings success as well.
The Walking Dead season 7 is expected to debut in October 2016.
