The Walking Dead season 7 begins in the US on Sunday (23 October) and will air the following evening on FOX at 9 PM.
Based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, The Walking Dead follows survivors of a zombie apocalypse, led by sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln).
Still, the rigmarole will continue: The Walking Dead will continue to lie in Game of Thrones’ mammoth-sized shadow every time the bandwagon rolls into town each spring.
In this way, The Walking Dead feels more of a story than Game of Thrones ever could – scandalous when you consider George R.R. Martin’s source material remains a riveting read.
