The Walking Dead has proven itself to be the franchise that just won’t die — and fans wouldn’t have it any other way. In November 2022, the original series trotted past the finish line after an incredibly successful 11-season run. In cases like these, it’s always hard for audiences to say goodbye, but their break from the zombie-ridden universe was a short one, thanks to the announcement of several offshoots. Following the success of its three initial spin-offs, The Walking Dead continued to branch out after the final nail closed the coffin on the original series, which gave fan-favorite characters a chance to continue their storylines in new, exciting, and unforeseen places.
