The ending of the series was surprisingly satisfactory, as many fans believed no ending could do this series justice. The conclusion didn’t really seem like the end, as several spinoff series are in various stages of production that will continue stories for several of the main cast members.
The Walking Dead universe has much to look forward to in 2023, with the first new series, The Walking Dead: Dead City, set to premiere in April 2023.
