Can The Walking Dead: Dead City Save The Franchise?

The Walking Dead universe has been in decline for several years, as viewing figures suggest. The main series peaked in season five when it had a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 90 percent, and then took a downward turn in seasons seven and eight when it picked up scores of 66 and 65 percent, respectively. Despite The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead gradually shedding viewers over the years, AMC has decided to double down on its zombie franchise with three brand-new spinoffs. The first of these will be The Walking Dead: Dead City, which certainly has the potential to pull people back and help them fall in love with this post-apocalyptic world again. When Did The Walking Dead Start to Decline? The turning point for the flagship series was when Steven Yeun’s Glenn Rhee was killed off brutally at the beginning of season seven. The horrifically graphic nature of that event was too much for many people to stomach,
