The Walking Dead universe began with a comic story created by Robert Kirkman with artists Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. The first issue was released in 2003, and the last in 2019. By 2009, AMC Networks obtained the rights to produce a series based on the comic story. The Walking Dead premiered on AMC on October 31, 2010.
The series began with showrunner Frank Darabont during season 1 and he was replaced by Glen Mazzara for seasons 2 and 3. Beginning in season 4, current TWD Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple took over until season 9, when Angela Kang would serve as showrunner until the last season.
Throughout the series showrunners took liberties to alter many storylines featured in the comic, as well as create new characters, such as fan favorite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus).
The final episode of The Walking Dead, “Rest in Peace,” aired on AMC and AMC+ on November 20, 2022. The final season consisted of 24 episodes, released in three parts and rounded out the series, paying homage to previous seasons and characters who died throughout the story. The last scene of the finale surprised fans with the return of Rick and Michonne, characters who left the series in seasons 9 and 10, respectively.
