TWD Franchise recent news megathread/Discussion

Before we begin, I would like to point out that the main show most likely isn't going to end after season 12.

Why?

Well, the source for this entire debate was none other than WeGotThisCovered.

For those of you who don't know who WeGotThisCovered is, they're a "news" outlet that creates stories and makes up "news" and "rumors" for the sole purpose of enticing you to click their link and give them revenue generated by website ads and clickbait.

They are especially heinous of this on the Marvel side of the spectrum - It's so bad the mods over on r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers are removing WeGotThisCovered articles from their feed because it's mostly all fictitious articles written to generate revenue.

The chances of TWD actually ending after season 12 is very highly unlikely. JUST because the comics did, doesn't mean the show will. The shoe has already differentiated from the comics in a million different ways. Sophia dying, Daryl, Merle, T-Dog, Carol surviving, (The real) Fear, MoMo and Friends, The Wolves, the Claimers, Henry, the list goes on.


I would like to address Fear now - Season 6 is most likely Ian and Andrew's last season.

AMC Might not give a shit about the state of the show, but they sure as fuck give a shit about the decline in viewership.

If Season 6 doesn't do well, AMC will most likely hire a replacement team to take over. And hopefully, it's someone who understands Fear.

The reason I say this is because - AMC listened when people didn't like Erickson. Why? Because they lost viewers.

Fear is losing viewers as it stands.

It also doesn't help that the ratings have been significantly BAD compared to Erickson's lowest season (2). And even his lowest points lasted a total of half a season. And not even half a season, just a few episodes within said half of season.

AMC is most definitely trying to do damage control right now. They're most likely going to demand some things change in hopes to garner viewers. Probably more shitty forced crossovers but I digress.

If Season 6 still does poorly, AMC would suffer greatly keeping them on for a season 7. AMC might not care about quality (Gimple is evident of that), but they sure as fuck give a shit about Money.

And Fear is losing money.

You know what it is.
