What is The Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror television series that is based on the Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard comic book series of the same name, which together make up the core of the Walking Dead franchise. In the series, a sizable ensemble cast plays survivors of a zombie apocalypse who are fighting to survive while constantly being in danger from "walker" attacks.
After modern civilization collapsed, these survivors were forced to deal with other human survivors who had established communities and groups with their own sets of laws and morals, which occasionally resulted in open hostility between them.
The show debuted on October 31, 2010, and it is only aired on the cable channel AMC in the US and Disney+ and Fox Networks Group in other countries. Beginning on August 22, 2021, the eleventh and final season ran until November 20, 2022. The Walking Dead started drawing the most viewers aged 18 to 49 of any cable or broadcast television series starting with its third season, though interest dwindled in later seasons. Additionally, the series has received generally favorable reviews from critics.
What is the basic plot of The Walking Dead?
After a global zombie apocalypse begins, The Walking Dead is set. The "walkers," or zombies, amble toward living people and other animals in an effort to consume them. They are drawn to noise, such as gunshots, and to various scents, including human scents.
Early in the series, it is discovered that all living humans carry the pathogen that causes the mutation, despite the fact that it initially seems that only humans who are bitten or scratched by walkers can turn into other walkers. After the pathogen's host dies, the mutation takes effect, and the only way to permanently end a walker's life is to either cause brain damage or completely obliterate it, such as by crematorium.
Sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, who emerges from a coma, serves as the series' main character. In a state of coma, walkers have taken control of the entire world. He takes on the role of leader of a group of survivors from Atlanta, Georgia, as they make an effort to survive and defend themselves not only from attacks by walkers but also from other survivor groups willing to use any means necessary to survive.
