Robert Kirkman recently had a chance to sit down and talk about ‘The Walking Dead’ (the show, not the comic) and gave a bit of insight on where it might be headed and how long AMC would like to keep it around.
It’s a very popular show, and they seem to want it to go for 50 seasons. And it may go for 50 seasons, but there is definitely an end point at some point. The idea is that this story that’s longer than it has any business being, but it’s that length and watching those characters evolve over that time that’s gonna make it be this piece, that when it’s all done, you’ll look back on it and be like ‘what the hell, I thought they were just killing zombies. There’s totally an arc here and a thing going on, and I didn’t think the story was about this!’
It was also brought up that a cure has been mentioned on and off in the series. Could one be delivered when the show finally does come to a close?
Maybe. You never know. I do hope that ‘The Walking Dead’ goes on long enough that when it ends, it’s like, ‘good thing we took care of those zombies.’
Which of course doesn’t hint if any of our survivors will still be around or if we’d still survive as a race beyond that.
