Walking Dead Thread ***SPOILERS***

[BmorePat87]

the question is, how long can it run on AMC? Plenty of scripted shows have hit double digit seasons, but the most recent ones have been animated.

Cable shows don't have the same numbers. Recent long running shows include Its Always Sunny (14 seasons) and South Park (20 Seasons), but most have a shelf life of 7-9 seasons.

There's no reason to currently cancel it as their lower ratings are still way higher than their other shows.

Kirkman has said he will eventually go his own direction in the comics and let show runners decide the fate of Rick and co when the show catches up.
