So did those movies he was supposed to be in fall through. I didn’t see anything about them in this article but I also kinda just skimmed it so I might be asking a dumb question.
Related question: is every episode of this show on AMC+? I’m probably gonna sign up once Interview with a Vampire’s season is complete and I might try to power through this show again when I do.

Best of luck to you.

I work from home so there’s a lot of shows I watch with 25-30 percent of my brain. I certainly couldn’t make it through Once Upon a Time or Superman and Lois if I focused my whole attention on them.

This is the only spinoff I'll watch. Walking Dead for me was about Rick's story so I haven't seen an episode since he left.

She’s a Tony-nominated playwright. Her Broadway play ECLIPSED (which starred Lupita N’yongo) is fantastic.

No thank you. This show lasted way too damn long already. I stopped watching after season 7 or 8

I would be ok with new walking dead with new cast somewhere else . But the same characters is beating a dead horse

The movies were announced as dead (heh) at SDCC this year with the surprise appearance of her and Andrew Lincoln in 6 episodes as the surprise replacement. They say it's a limited series but we'll see.
Fear with Morgan and Dwight is still going and recently brought Madison back. Alicia left just prior and isn't confirmed dead either.
Tales the anthology wrapped. No word on a S2 yet.
World Beyond did it's 2 seasons and will be most related to the Rick show.
Dead City Maggie and Negan in Manhattan coming. Not clear yet how.
Darryl in Europe show with fast and somewhat smarter zombies also coming. Carol was supposed to be in it but left. They are teasing a 'something' else for her.

Yeah, personally I’d like six episodes to finally find out what happened to Rick. The helicopter is still a mystery, right?
meowskywalker t1_iu5czdm wrote
Yup you got me. Signed up for Reddit ten years ago so that I could suggest binging a show that AMC clearly wants me to watch weekly. And say that their most popular show is so dumb I can’t watch it unless I’m using most of my brain on other tasks to distract me from the dumb. Truly the greatest advertising scheme in the history of time.

That's what Fear the Walking Dead was. Then it just turned into the same crap.
alpacasarebadsingers t1_iu5fa9k wrote
I hear that she is going super meta with this show. She will play herself in real life and the “zombies” will be the various Walking Dead shows. She will spend 10 episodes “killing” the “zombies” by convincing the writers to quit and the production company to back a different series.
Edit: in the finale she uses a sword to cut off Gimple’s head and is then arrested and taken to jail.
AnneFranklin0131 t1_iu5fgz7 wrote
Yea because they want to continue the same peoples story when it should be a different people every season. Kinda like true detective would keep things more interesting
diamened t1_iu5fqw8 wrote
My problem with Walking Dead (besides the fact that the author clearly hates humanity) is that nothing changes. They basically repeat the same story over and over.
AnneFranklin0131 t1_iu5h57n wrote
They clearly need better writers . Everything seems so flat sometimes.

Unless the show is about them killing the FINAL zombies, I don’t want to see it. Honestly, at this point in time the living should have taken most of them out by now. It’s been over 12 years.
MyStationIsAbandoned t1_iu5uwk5 wrote
I don't know if the best writers in the world can save The Walking Dead after the damage the former show runner did. And AMC's shitty budget and studio meddling.
But maybe. They did damage to the show that cannot be undone. I'm not even talking about season 7 stuff that people quit from. That was in the comics. I'm talking about the 100 times more worse thing they did in a later season.
gamer123098 t1_iu5xr01 wrote
Why? I mean it's always the same thing for TWD. At this point it's just zombie people watching the show. The watching dead.

I can't tell if you're just making shit up or if AMC really vomited out 6 spinoffs

So many spinoffs.. why don't they just continue with the show. It's going to be weird watching them all split up/on their own when they've survived/been together for 11 seasons..

Not sure on the specifics and first I've heard of Tales (my dad likes this franchise, so I watch it with him), but yeah, this is real.

I like to imagine Michael Scott’s reaction to Toby returning to the office when hearing about writers making more Walking Dead spin-offs.

I’m here to agree with you.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted

It was good, but then they changed the showrunner and it became terrible as I recall

Seasons 4 and 5 are the two seasons you’ll find the most amount of people calling their favorites. I personally think the first 2 were the best but 4 and 5 get held up as the gold standard by a lot of people.
zer0mike t1_iu6c0ly wrote
Good wrap up. How is Darryl gonna get to Europe! Didn’t know Carol left. I feel announcing these spin offs has really killed the ending buzz. Even if it was a minor buzz.
diamened t1_iu6cdth wrote
Exactly. Group should be called 'the walking party-poopers'

It was, some seasons were great.
Ambitious-Comb-8847 t1_iu6fq2q wrote
Yeah. Dunno yet. 3 episodes left I believe.
People started bashing the actress JDM was pissed off at people for that and AMC had to put out a statement. Maybe she didn't want to move to Europe but she's been there a while so she deserves a break.
Ambitious-Comb-8847 t1_iu6g629 wrote
100% real. Other then 1 episode the Anthology was all OCs as well. Big name they got for episode 1 was Terry Crews.
Maybe 7 depending on what they do with Carol.

I've been burned out on the Zombie genre for like a decade at this point.
Puzzleheaded_Safe131 t1_iu6int1 wrote
My only real complaint about the show was waiting weeks to see what happens after a cliffhanger. Hell the last bit of season 10 was infuriating. Yea. I clearly want to see Carol try and make soup. Not what’s happening to those other characters in that very interesting situation. To then realize it wouldn’t be addressed until like the next season was wild.
Luckily I was binging this after deciding to pick it back up since it’s the final season. But if I was waiting live? I think I’d never go back.

Season 2 was honestly my favorite. I know it’s often panned by most as being “boring” or “slow” but I loved it.

ILoveRegenHealth t1_iu70rbj wrote
As someone who was once a big fan, I'm sick of it too. Main show is boring to me and I quit 3 seasons ago.
Fear the Walking Dead started off intriguing and went on too long. The World Beyond was too boring. Tales from the Walking Dead series (the new one) also dull as hell.
But since the ratings, while not as strong as they used to be, are still decent enough for AMC (and many of their own original shows never gained traction), they are going to continue pumping these out no matter what.
dannylandulf t1_iu741hj wrote
And nobody gets a happy ending. It's over a decade since the outbreak happened and there's still no stability. Everyone is still experiencing trauma that would put a real person in the psych hospital every other week.
Like this new character or relationship? One of them will get an arrow through the eye next episode. Crazy that a show has gone on this long when all but two of the 1st season characters is dead or 'missing'.

They somehow managed to shit out a worse title than "Fear the Walking Dead"

You're talking about special COVID episodes, but other than that the show has been good for several years with the new showrunner on-board.

In my opinion it didn’t fall off . But how do you top Matthew Mcconaughey in general.

Pretty sure they confirmed that they are cloned versions of Lori, Rick's dead wife, that are programed to take Rick to the effiel tower to rule the new world.

I stopped watching walking dead after season 3 because it had gotten so stale and bad, and I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. It seems too batshit crazy to possibly be real, and yet...
kirby2000 t1_iuhcku1 wrote
The whole point of the comic ending is it ended. People had an ending, some died, some lived and we found out their final fate.
What is the point in the series ending if half the cast have spin offs?
The comics had a pretty definite ending. It wasn't open ended or designed to be ambiguous.

I quit on this show years ago but it’s still around and I’m just wondering if there is a market for it? I mean at this point, anyone who is a fan will stick around for whatever may come next right? Maybe there’s a big enough fan base to continue this universe but literally ever post I see on here about the walking dead is people complaining how the quality went to shit
