So How Many Seasons of The Walking Dead Will AMC See Through? AMC’s enjoying one hell of a run with its adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s zombie epic “The Walking Dead,” but the question beckons: How much longer could the story of our favorite survivors last? According to AMC CEO Josh Sapan, a very long time.

Recently Sapan appeared at the Barclays Global Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Conference, where he spoke about the show’s possible longevity…

“We hope that zombies live forever and we’ve just begun to find out what the post-apocalyptic world is like,” said Sapan, “so that we’ll be sitting here at the Barclays conference in 2022 discussing the fact that ‘The Walking Dead’ is not over… at that point, I think any one of the companies will have replaced the United States government and we’ll be in a complete free enterprise world in which there are no nations.”

So what? Another decade-ish? We don’t think Rick’s already scarred psyche could hold out that long, but we’d sure love to find out!
