Duh: ‘The Walking Dead’ Has Been Renewed For A Seventh Season!

Briefly: This is probably (definitely) the least surprising thing that I’ve read all year.

The Walking Dead, one of (if not the) the most popular series on television… has been renewed for another season. Also, we’ll be getting another season of that crazy popular talk show, The Talking Dead.

AMC president Charlie Collier shared in the ridiculous sentiment, stating: “Thank goodness someone had a Magic 8-Ball with them in our many long internal meetings about these renewals. When, on the third shake, ‘without a doubt’ filled the murky blue screen, we knew we had to proceed with new seasons of ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Talking Dead. All joking aside, we are so proud to share these shows with fans who have been so passionate, communicative and engaged. We are grateful for and continually impressed by the talent, effort and excellence on continuous display by Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Chris Hardwick and the many people with whom we partner to make these unique shows possible. The result: More Walking and Talking. Hooray.”

Scott Gimple will thankfully return as showrunner, and Executive Producers, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, and Tom Luse will also be returning.

An episode count for next season has not yet been revealed, but it’s probably safe to assume that we’ll see 16 episodes as we have for the past four years.

Now that we’re a few episodes into Season 6, is the show piquing your interest once again? I recall last year’s season garnering a lot of negativity from fans, and this year has been all but the opposite,

In any case, are you looking forward to another year of our favourite survivors? Sound out below!
