TWD Universe chief explains why TheWalkingDead spinoffs are returning to six-episode seasons:
In 2010, The Walking Dead debuted with a six-episode first season, which cabler AMC followed with a 13-episode second season in 2011. By 2012, after record-breaking ratings, the Breaking Bad and Mad Men network ordered 16 episodes of The Walking Dead, splitting the third season into two eight-episode blocks. The 16-episode format would continue until the flagship show's expanded eleventh season: a three-part, 24-episode final season aired over two years.
With the entertainment industry's pivot to streaming and the success of shorter seasons and mini-series, Gimple said abbreviated seasons"actually pushed us to tell stories in a very different way, which I think is a very good thing, after 12 years." Asked if future spinoffs or future seasons of coming spinoffs would consist of six episodes, Gimple answered,"I'll just say that, right now, these first seasons are six episodes. Things might change after that. We're still seeing about that. The Walking Dead, in its first season, was six episodes, and then things changed, obviously."
