Almost twelve years after cameras first began rolling on what would quickly become a television phenomenon, AMC has announced that filming has wrapped on the eleventh and final season of its zombie drama series The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead is currently airing the second of three batches of episodes from the eleventh season, with the final episodes expected to premiere on AMC in the Fall.
Although the long-running series is coming to an end this year, AMC is still confident that there’s plenty of life left in The Walking Dead Universe. The companion series Fear the Walking Dead continues and has been renewed for an eighth season, while the six-episode anthology series entitled Tales of the Walking Dead is due to begin this summer. Meanwhile the main show is set to launch two spinoffs – an untitled spinoff focussing of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride), and Isle of the Dead, which will feature Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) – and the (now theatrical) Rick Grimes movie remains in the pipeline.
