What is The Walking Dead?
Based on the popular series of comics written by Robert Kirkman,The Walking Deadfollows a group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse as they encounter hordes of “walkers” and come face to face with various mini-societies that have popped up in the wake of this disaster. While the show is ostensibly about humanity fighting against external monsters, it also delves into the psychologies of what happens when we’re pushed to the brink and proves that sometimes, humanity can be the biggest monster of them all.
This season will reportedly cover material from issues #175–193 of Kirkman’s comic, and will center on the group coming in contact with the Commonwealth, “a large network of communities that has advanced equipment and almost fifty thousand survivors living in their different settlements.” This season will be spread over the course of two years, and lead into aspin-off seriesfollowing the Daryl and Carol characters that is set to begin airing in 2023. There’s also an anthology series in development.
