Well, this will come as absolutely no surprise given that the show is a ratings beast, but AMC has officially announced that it has renewed The Walking Dead for a seventh season, along with a sixth season of the chat show Talking Dead.
“Thank goodness someone had a Magic 8-Ball with them in our many long internal meetings about these renewals. When, on the third shake, ‘without a doubt’ filled the murky blue screen, we knew we had to proceed with new seasons of The Walking Dead and Talking Dead,” states Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. “All joking aside, we are so proud to share these shows with fans who have been so passionate, communicative and engaged. We are grateful for and continually impressed by the talent, effort and excellence on continuous display by Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Chris Hardwick and the many people with whom we partner to make these unique shows possible. The result: More Walking and Talking. Hooray.”
As well as the seventh season of The Walking Dead, fans also have season two of companion series Fear the Walking Dead to look forward to next year.
