AMC has unsurprisingly ordered a seventh season of The Walking Dead, which will screen in 2016. The Walking Dead is the number one show across the world at the moment, and a season seven was an absolute definite, but today US cable channel AMC confirmed that it has officially ordered a new season, along with postmortem chat show Talking Dead.
“We are so proud to share these shows with fans who have been so passionate, communicative and engaged,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios to Deadline. “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.”
We are only three episodes in to the latest season, which continues this Sunday in the US, and on Monday evening on Fox in the UK. The trade blog says that the particular episode, which contained a huge cliffhanger, bagged a total of 18.2 million total viewers in the US, and 12.0 million among adults 18-49.
Great news for fans of this ground-breaking show.
