A Farewell to the Original Series

In November 2022, "The Walking Dead" concluded its 11-season run, leaving fans with a mix of emotions. The series finale, titled "Rest in Peace," wrapped up numerous character arcs and storylines, providing a sense of closure to the long-running saga. However, the question on many fans' minds remains: will there be a Season 12?

The End of an Era

AMC announced in September 2020 that Season 11 would be the final installment of "The Walking Dead." This decision was influenced by various factors, including declining viewership and the desire to explore new narratives within the franchise.

As a result, the series concluded with its 177th episode, marking the end of an era for the beloved show.
