Walking Dead (TV Series)

AMC's Walking Dead is an American horror television drama series based on Image Comic's The Walking Dead. It was developed by Frank Darabont, who served as showrunner until Season Four.

The title of the series refers to the survivors, and not the actual zombies, though it could equally be taken to mean both the survivors and the zombies.
