In the return of Season 8 of The Walking Dead, the all-out war waged by Rick and the unified groups has had a devastating impact on every person involved. The communities themselves are fractured.

Negan continues to deal with struggles within his ranks as workers, traitors, and othersâ thirst for power cause conflict at the Sanctuary.
As all-out-war consumes all the groups, the line between good and evil continues to blur, and people are still fighting for what they believe in. Everybody must work together for something bigger â to feel safe and have a world worth living in.

Thought this was confirmed months ago.
The Walking Dead
The second half of Season 9 returns
From Monday 11 February
Express from the US at 2.00pm AEST
And encore primetime screening 7:30pm AEST
Global hit series The Walking Dead will return for the second half of season nine on Monday, February 11 at 2.00pm , with each weekly episode streaming on Foxtel and screening on FOX SHOWCASE, express from the US.
The second half of The Walking Dead season nine finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed.
Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves. What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realise the world just beyond does not operate as they thought. The groupâs rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover itâs unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before.
The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the stakes are high and numerous.
AMC has renewed the show for a 10th season.
I havenât watched since Carl got bitten. I feel the show has dragged a bit now, especially since the death of Glenn.
Season 10 begins today (October 7) on Fox Showcase, express from the US. Each episode will air at 1pm AEDT on Mondays and repeated at 9.30pm AEDT.
I havenât watched this show in a while (halfway through Season 8 I believe). But I never realised it had such a fall from grace. It was getting around a 5.0 in the demo in season 8. Now its only getting a 1.0. Will they keep continuing the show past 11 seasons?
I donât see why not. Despite the massive fall from grace it is still the largest show on pay tv by a decent margin.
And a 1.0 by broadcast TV standards is a hit, so the benchmark for subscription tends to be alot less.

That is super disappointing. I would have expected the season to be in the can given weâre only a handful of episodes away from the end of this season.
That is great. Is it all seasons?
Info currently lists 2 seasons
