Deadline is reporting after a record breaking 2 episodes
The Walking Dead will indeed be returning for a second season. Here is what president of AMC Charlie Collider and Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming had to say about the renewal
“The ‘Dead’ has spread!” said Charlie Collier, President, AMC.
“No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as ‘The Walking Dead.’ This reaffirms viewers’ hunger for premium television on basic cable. We are so proud to be bringing back ‘The Walking Dead’ again, across the globe.”
“I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming.
“‘The Walking Dead’ is a TV masterpiece on so many levels. We want at least 10 seasons, if not more. Kudos to AMC!”
The Walking Dead has scored ratings only two episodes into its 6 episode first season so a second season should come as no surprise. With a an ongoing comic series by Robert Kirkman as its basis, the show could easily have at least a few more seasons worth of story telling, but how awesome does ten sound?
You can catch
The Walking Dead Sundays at 10 on AMC.
