With the mammoth show finally coming to a close, TheWalkingDead series finale brought in the show's largest viewership in two years.
The series finale of The Walking Dead drew in the show's largest viewership in two years. The Walking Dead, AMC's post-apocalyptic zombie horror series, first premiered back in 2010, and since its debut season, the show gained immense popularity, running for 11 seasons by the time the series ended on November 20.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Though the series' viewership has been declining sharply in recent years, The Walking Dead's finale episode saw a massive bump in ratings. The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that The Walking Dead's series finale, "Rest in Peace," drew in 2.27 million viewers on its release day, making it the most-watched episode for the show since February 2021.
While The Walking Dead has come to an end, that doesn't mean that the franchise is through with fan-favorite characters. Earlier this year, three upcoming spinoff shows were announced with Daryl Dixon, which follows Daryl as he travels through France, Dead City, which sees Maggie and Negan in New York City, and Rick and Michonne, which will fill in where Rick and Michonne have been since departing The Walking Dead.
However, with Rick finally making an appearance in The Walking Dead series finale to set up Rick and Michonne, the uptick in viewership could spell success for its spinoffs. As many ex-fans tuned in to see how the series would end, there was clearly a renewed interest in The Walking Dead, no matter how small.
