If you were worried that AMC was going to cancel The Walking Dead, then we have some good news for you. AMC has just renewed The Walking Dead for a seventh season.
AMC is planning on keeping their most watched TV show in history on their network for another year.
According to THR, the cable network has renewed the zombie drama based on the Robert Kirkman comic-book series for a seventh season. With the renewal, Walking Dead ties Mad Men as the longest-running original TV series.
“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,” AMC/Sundance TV president Charlie Collier said in a statement Friday. “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.”
This should not come as a surprise. The Walking Dead still ranks as TV’s most watched drama among the key demographic of 18 to 49 year olds. Season six had 14.6 million total viewers and with three days of the premiere, nearly 20 million people watched to see what happened to Rick and the gang.
