''The Walking Dead'' is a {{live action|Adaptation}} ZombieApocalypse television series based on [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead the comic of the same name]] by Creator/RobertKirkman. It is the first installment in Franchise/TheWalkingDeadTelevisionUniverse. Like the comic, its story focuses on a group of survivors struggling to stay alive in a world overrun by undead humans.

Rick Grimes (Creator/AndrewLincoln), the leader of the group, awakens in the hospital from a coma to find everything has gone downhill. He sets out to find his family, and the rest of the show focuses on him and the rest of the characters as they adapt and relate to each other in a terrible new world. Though the survivors face great hardship -- not just from the undead (referred to as "walkers"), but also from people who are far worse -- they find that their most vital resources are [[TrueCompanions each other]], and the will to survive day by day. The group takes casualties, finds new members, and suffers brutal defeats, but they push on, with the hope that things get better, no matter how briefly, beyond the horizon.

->''[[TrueCompanions "To sacrifice for each other, to suffer, to stand, to grieve, to give, to love, to live, to fight for each other."]]''

The show's writers are knowingly taking [[ApprovalOfGod (creator-approved)]] liberties with its source material, so comic readers, don't expect to come into this knowing everything beforehand. WordOfGod says that the intention from the start has been to approach the series as an AlternateContinuity of its own, in which certain events play out differently -- [[NotHisSled sometimes radically so]] -- due to the ButterflyEffect ripples of the [[AdaptationExpansion additions]] and [[AdaptedOut subtractions]] of [[SchrodingersCast various characters]] and events major and minor.

In late 2018, it was announced that series lead Creator/AndrewLincoln [[note]]who decided to leave the show to spend more time with his family; Lincoln lives in the UK whereas the series is filmed in Georgia for roughly six months a year, a schedule which has grown increasingly more difficult as Lincoln’s children have grown older[[/note]] would star in a trilogy of AMC original movies. This trilogy of films is set to be the first installments in a larger collection of films featuring both new and old characters in the show’s universe.

As noted above, ''The Walking Dead'' will conclude in late 2022 with its eleventh season; however, a spin-off focusing on main protagonist Daryl Dixon, played by Creator/NormanReedus, has been greenlit for 2023.
