"The Walking Dead" has won more than a million hearts since the time it was released first. While the success of the show is only increasing with each passing year, fans often wonder whether their favorite zombie show would end any time soon.
"The Walking Dead" comic has been there from the time when AMC's television series was not even idealized. Therefore, the fans of the comic series already know many things about the plot that they might get to see in the upcoming seasons of the show.
Typically, a television series is considered successful if it runs well beyond Season 3. "The Walking Dead" has had six incredibly popular and successful seasons so far. However, any absence of information about the show and the upcoming seasons makes fans wonder how long the show would actually last.
According to a report published by The Wrap, the President and the CEO of AMC Networks, Josh Sapan has indicated that there is still a long time to go before "The Walking Dead" is cancelled. Sapan says that there are many more years of life left in the incredibly successful zombie drama.
Sapan made the revelation during the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference, which took place on Sept. 21, Wednesday. The CEO envisions "The Walking Dead" franchise to run as long as the "Star Trek" franchise, which recently celebrate its golden jubilee.
The network has a great ability to market their shows and fetch all the attention that they need for the show to become popular. For example, AMC's "The Night Manager" was a limited series, but the tabloid publicized it to an extreme level that helped make it popular and successful. Also, Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift dating rumors were all around the internet then, which further added to its success.
Meanwhile, Looper predicts that there could be multiple ways in which the show runners may decide to end the show. The walkers may evolve to completely eliminate mankind or the humans may finally win the battle against the walkers. The development of a vaccine or a cure that could finally end the zombie-making disease is also a possibility.
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 returns this fall on Oct. 23.
