Daryl Dixon's Walking Dead Exit: Canceled Season 12 Plans Confirm The Franchise Dodged A Bullet

The Walking Dead could have come back for season 12, but it’s probably a good thing they didn’t, as the franchise expands into anticipated spinoffs.

As one of AMC's biggest hits, it makes sense that there would be a strong desire to continue The Walking Dead into a season 12, however not moving forward with another season might have saved the series from going down a bad path.

After season 10, executive producer Scott Gimple asked Cohan if she would be interested in leading The Walking Dead as Maggie alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan for another four years.
