Producers have a plan to film ‘The Walking Dead’ for 12 seasons.
AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ is heading into its fifth season with 28 million weekly viewers. The most popular show on TV has Rick Grimes fighting off zombies, killers, and cannibals but for how long?
Well according to the producers, we are not even half way there.
Indiewire reports that at the Producer’s Guild of America’s Produced By conference on Sunday, The Walking Dead Executive Producer David Alpert was asked about producing a show from the original comic book series created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
“I happen to love working from source material, specifically because we have a pretty good idea of what Season 10 is gonna be,” Alpert replied. “We know where season 11 and 12 … we have benchmarks and milestones for those seasons if we’re lucky enough to get there.”
For all AMC fans and TV execs, this is good news. Not too mention AMC is already in the works for a Walking Dead spinoff featuring new characters and story lines. However, reaching 10 seasons will be a major challenge for any cable television series.
The Walking Dead returns in October for its fifth season.
