''The Walking Dead'' is a {{live action|Adaptation}} ZombieApocalypse television series based on [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead the comic of the same name]]. It is also the first installment in Franchise/TheWalkingDeadTelevisionUniverse. Like the comic, its story focuses on a group of survivors struggling to stay alive in a world overrun by undead humans. Rick Grimes, the leader of the group, awakens in the hospital from a coma to find everything has gone downhill. He sets out to find his family, and the rest of the show focuses on him and the rest of the characters as they adapt and relate to each other in a terrible new world. Though the survivors face great hardship--not just from the walkers, but also from people who are far worse than the undead--they find that their most vital resources are [[TrueCompanions each other]], and the will to survive day by day. The group takes casualties, finds new members, suffers brutal defeats, but they push on, with the hope that things get better, no matter how briefly, beyond the horizon.
The series premiered on October 31st, 2010 on Creator/{{AMC}}, and was produced by Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd. Glen Mazzara took over as showrunner for seasons 2 and 3, followed by Scott M. Gimple, who oversaw seasons 4-8, with Angela Kang taking the reins starting with season 9. Comic creator Robert Kirkman is also heavily involved with the production, including being the writer for several episodes. ''The Walking Dead'' will conclude with its eleventh and final season, nearly twice the length of a usual season, that began airing August 22nd, 2021.
The series has [[http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead its own homepage]]. It includes three series of {{webisode}}s, the six part ''Torn Apart'', the four part ''Cold Storage'', and the three part ''The Oath'' along with other extra content, including online content for the ''Talking Dead'' talk show accompanying the series. A fourth series of {{webisode}}s titled ''Red Machete'' ran alongside Season 8 from fall 2017 to spring 2018. A [[http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead/dead-reckoning flash-based]] adventure game entitled ''Dead Reckoning'' is also available on the website, and shows Shane's initial encounters with the walkers when the outbreak begins.
The show's writers are knowingly taking [[ApprovalofGod (creator-approved)]] liberties with its source material, so comic readers, don't expect to come into this knowing everything beforehand. WordOfGod says that the intention from the start has been to approach the series as an AlternateContinuity of its own, in which certain events play out differently -- [[NotHisSled sometimes radically so]] -- due to the ButterflyEffect ripples of the [[AdaptationExpansion additions]] and [[AdaptedOut subtractions]] of [[SchrodingersCast various characters]] and events major and minor.
Several spin-offs taking place in the same canon as this series have been produced, with several more slated for future production; see [[Franchise/TheWalkingDeadTelevisionUniverse here]] for more information about these projects.
In late 2018, it was announced that series lead Creator/AndrewLincoln [[note]]who decided to leave the show to spend more time with his family; Lincoln lives in the UK whereas the series is filmed in Georgia for roughly six months a year, a schedule which has grown increasingly more difficult as Lincoln’s children have grown older[[/note]] would star in a trilogy of AMC original movies. This trilogy of films is set to be the first installments in a larger collection of films featuring both new and old characters in the show’s universe.
As noted above, ''The Walking Dead'' will conclude in late 2022 with its eleventh season; however, a spin-off focusing on main protagonists Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier, played by Creator/NormanReedus and Creator/MelissaMcBride, has been greenlit for 2023.
Has its own dedicated ShoutOut page [[ShoutOut/TheWalkingDeadTVShow here]]. Now also has an in-progress [[Recap/TheWalkingDead recap page]]. And see '''[[Characters/TheWalkingDeadTVShow here]]''' for characters page.
A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' special titled ''[[Recap/RobotChickenTheWalkingDeadSpecialLookWhosWalking Look Who's Walking]]'', based off the series, aired in late 2017, with many of the show's actors reprising their roles.
See also ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSurvivalInstinct'', a first person shooter video game set in the TV series continuity. And ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadArcade'', a rail shooter arcade based off the TV show.
