Despite an overall decrease in The Walking Dead’s ratings, showrunner Angela Kang confirmed at New York Comic Con on October 5, 2019 that the show had been renewed for another season, throwing us back into the zombie apocalypse for the 11th year. “The Walking Dead burst out of the gate ten years ago as a genre show that had all the character depth of a top-tier prestige drama,” said Sarah Barnett, former president of AMC networks entertainment group and AMC studios. “And now 10 years later – led by the brilliant Angela Kang and fuelled by one of the most consistently talented casts in television – this phenomenon is flourishing creatively, with critics and audiences embracing its reset.”
