The Walking Dead (2010–2022) is a genre-defining television epic that transformed zombie horror into an emotionally charged saga of survival, humanity, and moral decay. Over its 11-season run on AMC, the show evolved from a simple "fight for survival" into a sprawling franchise with multiple spin-offs, though it faced significant critical and audience fluctuations in its later years.
