The Walking Dead is coming back for a 13-episode second season after it's 2nd episode! The new AMC drama headlined by Andrew Lincoln has broken ratings records with more viewers in the 18-49 demographic than any other cable TV show.
The Walking Dead's series premiere on Halloween drew 5.3 million total viewers and Sunday's "gutsy" episode took in 4.7 million. The incredibly high retention of a record rating surely made this choice for a second season a no brainer for AMC.
“The Dead has spread!” said Charlie Collier, President, AMC. “No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as The Walking Dead. This reaffirms viewers’ hunger for premium television on basic cable. We are so proud to be bringing back The Walking Dead again, across the globe.”
“I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming. “The Walking Dead is a TV masterpiece on so many levels. We want at least 10 seasons, if not more”
