What Is It?
The Walking Dead is AMC’s zombie-pocalypse series that follows a group of survivors trying to forge a new life in a world overrun by the undead. They must make many hard choices, and as they discover more people and established communities, they learn that survival only becomes more complicated. Following is the official synopsis for the tenth season:
The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell.
It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season 9, when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after effects of Alpha’s horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable.
But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society. The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance.

Status
The Walking Dexit continues for this show as it slipped to series low ratings levels in its ninth season. But it is still one of the highest-rated shows on television and it performs well globally. AMC’s CEO has said that he expects decades more from the franchise, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the main series wraps up somewhere around its twelfth season. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
