The Walking Dead aired on AMC network on October 31, 2010, with Andrew Lincoln as the lead. It is based on the comic book series created by Robert Kirkman.

There have been 11 seasons, and the show’s lead has since changed.
The series has been notorious for killing its major characters from the beginning. However, the lead of the show, Andrew Lincoln’s character Rick Grimes wasn’t killed off but simply disappeared.
