The Walking Dead first aired in 2010 as a six episode premiere season. Following the massive acclaim for the adaptation of Robert Kirkman comics, the Frank Darabont run production was renewed for a second which would run for a 13-episode Season 2 and four more 16-episode seasons would follow with Scott Gimple taking the reigns as showrunner in 2013.

The series is the highest rated on cable, airing Sundays at 9 p.m. ET and averaging over 12 million live viewers with each new hour.

It was also recently renewed for Season 8 -- so there is more zombie-killing action to come.

A start date for Season 8 has yet to be revealed but the series typically launches its new season in mid to late October each year.

The first episode The Walking Dead's eighth season will be the 100th overall, so expect something spectacular to close this run, leaving fans white-knuckling for more when it come times to get going for next year.
