"We are the walking dead." - Rick Grimes
Inspired by classic George A. Romero zombies movies like Night of the Living Dead, comic book writer Robert Kirkman wanted to tell his own story, with Tony Moore bringing that story to life in all its gory detail. Following its massive success the AMC network picked up the rights to turn The Walking Dead into their next big TV series, that along with Breaking Bad would revitalise the network. Having expanded into videosgames too, The Walking dead has truly dominated all forms of entertainment over the last two decades, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Comic Books (2003-2019):
When sheriff Rick Grimes awakes from a coma to find the world overrun by the living dead, he sets out on a journey to reunite with his wife and son. Meeting survivors along the way, Rick soon discovers that it's the remnants of humanity that are the most dangerous part of this new world. As humanity continues to fight each other, the dead only grow stronger.

TV Series (2010-Present):
What began as a slightly expanded adaptation of the comic books soon grew into a storyline far bigger and more complex than anything seen there, and soon required expanding into multiple spin-off shows.
The Walking Dead follows Rick Grimes and his ever increasing band of survivors as they try to survive the end of the world, coming up against madmen, tyrants, and people that choose to live among the dead.
Fear the Walking Dead follows the Clark family as they try to navigate the early days of the apocalypse, even trying to escape the United States in the hope of finding salvation elsewhere.
World Beyond centres around a group of youngsters who have only ever known the apocalypse as they navigate the trials of society attempting to re-stabilise itself.
Tales of the Walking Dead is an anthology series that tells short, world expanding stories that are disconnected from the other shows.
Dead City follows the characters of Maggie and Negan following the conclusion of The Walking Dead Season 11 as they search for Maggie's son in an isolated Manhattan.
Daryl Dixon follows the eponymous fan favourite character as he journeys to France to find the origin of the zombie outbreak.

Video Games (2012-Present):
The Walking Dead exploded onto the gaming scene with a revitalisation of the point & click genre from Telltale Games. Blowing away critics and gamers alike with its touching narrative. But that wasn't the only Walking Dead game to release, others include a variety of free to play mobile titles, a first person shooter based on AMC's TV show, and even VR titles.
The Telltale series chronicles the story of Clementine, who when saved as a child during the early days of the outbreak grows into a hardened survivor. With the story altering dependant on player choices, Telltale's The Walking Dead is an extremely engrossing and personal adventure.
Survival Instinct sees you control Daryl Dixon during the initial outbreak until he meets the main group of survivors from the show.
