The walking dead It is a series that has had a major impact on television. After the premiere of the first season, created by Frank Darabont and based on the comics written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, fans of zombie stories were fascinated by the way the episodes captured a group’s survival techniques with different abilities in the middle of an apocalypse.

Romero, Kirkman and others Showrunner – including Angela Kang and Scott Gimple – did a good job of mixing aspects of modern society, which led to the creation of several seasons Spin-offs.
