The number one show on television among adults 18-49, The Walking Dead returned for a fourth season earlier this month and the premiere episode set a new record for the series, delivering 20.2 million viewers, live+3, and 13.2 million adults 18-49, a new record for any non-sports cable telecast.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe are very happy to make what has to be one of the most anti-climactic renewal announcements ever: The Walking Dead is renewed for a fifth season,\u201d said Charlie Collier, AMC president. \u201cThis is a show that has erased traditional distinctions between cable and broadcast. Its expanding base of passionate fans has grown every season, most recently \u2013 and most notably \u2013 with the season four premiere earlier this month, which broke viewership records for the series and became the biggest non-sports telecast in cable history. On behalf of the incredible team on both sides of the camera, thank you to the fans and here\u2019s to more Dead.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For season five, Scott Gimple will return as the series\u2019 showrunner along with executive producers Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero and Tom Luse. AMC also recently announced that it is developing a companion series to The Walking Dead, based on a new story and new characters from Robert Kirkman.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n&nbsp;
