After initially being rejected by HBO and NBC, the show became a huge hit after it was eventually picked up by AMC. While it became a small screen front-runner, the series dwindled to a small viewership, with same-day viewing numbers dipping to around 2 million.
There are two new Walking Dead spinoffs currently in development: More Tales from the Walking Dead Universe, and The Book of Carol.
