‘The Walking Dead’ franchise defies expectations by continually expanding its universe. As per Variety, the director of ‘The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live’ recently argued there’s no end on the horizon.
Looking ahead, Scott Gimple envisions ‘The Walking Dead’ as a never-ending story, one that could continue to evolve and expand in various forms:
“I think it can go on forever. Robert Kirkman pitched it as the zombie movie that never ends. And even though he ended the comics, I am trying to fulfill his vision and keep it going in classic ways, with characters you know, that you wouldn’t even expect very different experimental way.”
This remark suggests that fans can expect more turns and developments in ‘The Walking Dead’ world.
