LOS ANGELES The end is coming for The Walking Dead, but not until 2022. The AMC series that became a franchise with current and planned spin-offs will wrap with an 11th season spanning 24 episodes and two years, the channel said Wednesday. When The Walking Dead is laid to rest in late 2022, a new spin-off centered on characters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier (Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride) will follow in 2023, AMC said. An anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead, focusing on new and existing characters, is in development along with other projects grounded in The Walking Dead universe," the channel said. Closer at hand are Fear the Walking Dead, which begins its sixth season Oct. 11, and newcomer The Walking Dead: World Beyond, which debuts Oct. 4 and follows the first generation to grow up during the apocalypse.
