With Fear the Walking Dead’s second season drawing to a close and the seventh season of The Walking Dead due to get underway next month, AMC’s zombie franchise is showing little sign of slowing down – and according to AMC Networks President and CEO Josh Sapan, the end is far from in sight.
Speaking at Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference, Sapan said that The Walking Dead “has incredible long life left in it” and could run for “many, many more years”, even going so far as to suggest Star Trek levels of longevity.
“[Star Trek] came and went three times,” said Sapan. “We do think that we have a franchise [in The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead] that is one of the rare franchises that you occasionally come across in what we do for a living.”
