"Now I can not say how long the series will continue. I hope we will hold up to the 10th season - and even more, "Kirkman stressed in a new interview.
The material for the scenario of the "walking dead" from Kirkman and Showranners of the series is more than enough, since the original comics still overtake the series in the development of the plot. A few months ago, Kirkman explained: "We needed 6 seasons to cover the plot of comics to the 100th issue. We will need another 6 years to get to the 200th issue, and it will be season 12. And even then comics will still overtake the series. " For comparison, the Episode of the 7th Season of the "Walking Dead" has shown the events of the 111th of the Comic Events before the winter break of the episode of the 71st season.
Even the decline in ratings does not mean that the continuation of the "walking dead" under threat: the series still remains the most popular TV show on cable TV, collecting over 10 million viewers every week.
"The Walking Dead" will return on the air with the remaining series of the 7th season February 12 on AMC.
