Which will consist of 16 episodes this time and air in 2017. Yay!

Talking Dead: Fear is renewed too, of course.


The announcement came so fast, but multiple sources claim last week's season premiere raked in more than 8 million viewers, so of course they would renew. I am excited the show is going to stay and now I'm even more curious what they will do with the rest of season 2!

[Creeper]

Yes, I'm not surprised it was renewed. Even if it doesn't have the appeal or following of TWD, it is still doing very well!

[kombat]

Considering Breaking Bad was below 2 million until its final season (5A), 8 million is damn good.

Game of Thrones starts this Sunday.  I'll be curious what the ratings look like next week.

I would just like to have 52 weeks of walker/zombie/deadite TV, between TWD, FTWD, ZNation, Evil Dead (iZombie not included, even as filler).

That would be awesome! Though I personally couldn't get into ZNation...

I also read somewhere that AMC has gained the rights to another zombie show based on the Romero comic series Empire of the Dead. So the all year zombie-fest might be possible if the Romero show will fill up the gap between FTWD and TWD, or maybe their midseason breaks. But AFAIK there hasn't even been a release window announced, so it still might be years before we get that show on air, if at all.

We should just have a zombie genre on par with "reality TV", "news", "documentaries"..."zombies", with a dozen channels competing for our viewership.

The Romero series would be awesome, if he downplays the vampire aspect and ups the zombies. Vampires are so 2006.

I just watched 28 days & weeks later. What a great pair of movies. I'd totally watch a show set in that universe if it captured the feel of the movies.

Too much of the same thing might kill the zombie craze that's going on. Although, I personally could never have too much zombies lol

Yeah, spot on. I pretty much gave up on vampires after Buffy. That was 2002? The vampires that came after that were imo ridiculous and overpowered >_<;
