Why Did It End? The ratings for this show were not great in its first season, and AMC has been completely quiet about its fate since it wrapped up in Fall 2022. Executive Producer Scott Gimple said in an interview: “I’m hoping that we can get back to it, but it’s probably gonna be catch-all as catch can, as far as within all the other shows”. That is not a ringing endorsement for a second season, and the network likely does not want to have a cancellation on the books for its flagship franchise, so I am sure they would count it as ended for now if pushed against the wall. I will be moving it to ended status, but since this is an anthology series, it could always return at some point. But with viewership for the franchise continuing to drop, this one may get permanently shelved. A short-form web series to be titled More Tales from the Walking Dead Universe was announced in Spring 2023, but I have not heard any updates on that one.
