The show’s mid-season premiere aired last week but unfortunately failed to capture the audience’s attention. The latest episode has drawn in only 4.54 million viewers (The Wrap) which is down 12% from last week.

For contrast, at its peak, the season 5 premiere brought in 17.3 million viewers and was crowned the no.1 show on TV. This means that the show has dropped to less than 25% of its peak viewings for season 9.

Still, the writers are hopeful that fans will give them a chance to tell the stories they have left to tell. Showrunner Angela Kang recently discussed her joy concerning The Walking Dead reaching its 10th season.

“It’s certainly a milestone that most people never get to cross and we’re so grateful to the fans around the world that have been on that journey with us,” she said. “I’m approaching it as I’ve got to make a great 10th season.”

Naturally, people have been curious about whether season 10 will be the last or whether there is still more story to tell. When asked about whether the show will continue she said: “I can’t assume anything. It’s a thing that writers certainly talk about a lot.

“You can fall into a trap of just planning ahead and saving the great material for later. We always have to approach it as – we got to put the good material in now.”

You can watch The Walking Dead on AMC or NOW TV.

The 45-year-old actor revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he is going back to the set of The Walking Dead, where the rest of the season nine is currently being filmed, to shadow a director and then wants to direct himself next year.

“I’m going back,” Lincoln told EW. “I’m going back to shadow a director, and my intention is to direct next year.”

It might be strange for an actor to return so quickly to the show he just left, but Andrew Lincoln has his reasons.

“I can’t be that far away because I can’t bear it.” he shared. “That’s how much I am invested in the show and the continuation of the story.”

Lincoln won’t be the only actor from The Walking Dead franchise to get a taste of directing as well. Colman Domingo and Michael Cudlitz, two actors featured on The Walking Dead spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, also got to shadow a director and direct episodes of their show.

The Walking Dead sub-Reddit did an extensive survey about the series’ future among its fans with close to 900 people taking part. According to the results, 44 percent of them will stop watching the series after Rick leaves. 36.9 percent were undecided, while just 18.9 percent said they will definitely continue to watch. Considering the way Rick should bow out from The Walking Dead, 51 percent of participants in the survey said they would prefer for him to die while 49 percent would like to see him just leave.

When it comes to The Walking Dead’s new lead, Negan would be the fans’ top choice, receiving 40 percent from all the participants in the survey. Judith is in the second place with 20 percent, while Daryl is their third choice with 15.

In response to other parts of the survey, more than two-thirds of The Walking Dead fans said they would like to see the series ending after the season nine, while almost half of them would like to see the show move further away from the comics source material. Finally, Tara is the most hated character, since 625 respondents wished for the character to die.

Season eight of The Walking Dead wrapped back in April while the production for season nine of the series is set to begin in March 2018. The new episodes are set to premiere later this year.

“I am beyond thrilled to be stepping into this new role with The Walking Dead,” said Kang in a statement. “Working on this series and having the opportunity to adapt Robert Kirkman’s amazing comic has been a fangirl dream come true for me.I’m excited to continue working with Scott and the wonderfully supportive folks at AMC, and can’t wait to share the next chapter of the story with our fans next fall.”

“The Walking Dead is a special show which started in an entirely different era of TV, and continues, in this new era, to confidently take chances to tell compelling stories that excite audiences and make them deeply connect with its characters, adapting Robert Kirkman’s brilliant comic book,” Gimple added. “As the show closes in on its tenth year, I’m honored to keep working with the talented, dedicated people behind and in front of the camera to make it all it can be, while expanding the world of The Walking Dead with new narratives like Fear the Walking Dead and a whole host of truly cool stories ahead. Angela is a big part of the heart and soul of The Walking Dead, and I’m thrilled to help facilitate her vision of the show’s next era.”

Gimple leaves the position of The Walking Dead showrunner after a big decline in both viewership and popularity of the show. Both season seven and season eight saw lack of creative energy and are viewed as disasters by the fans. Hopefully, Kang can make the necessary adjustments and bring back the show to its glory days.
