How many The Walking Dead shows are there and in which order to watch them?

The birth of The Walking Dead franchise dates back to 2003 when the first comic book by Robert Kirkman appeared. However, the television universe began in 2010 with the premiere of the series created by AMC.

Since then, the popular series has had eleven seasons, as well as numerous spin-offs and sequels set in the same post-apocalyptic world. Here are the most important productions of the TWD franchise:

The Walking Dead (2010-2022)

The show depicts the story of Rick Grimes, who awakens from a coma in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by zombies. The man, along with his family and friends, must struggle for survival against not only the undead, but also other people, who often prove to be more ruthless than zombies.

Fear the Walking Dead (2015-2023)

This is the second largest series in terms of the episodes aired, after the original. The series is a spin-off of the events from TWD and presents the story of a family from California at the start of the zombie apocalypse.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020-2021)

World Beyond is another spin-off of the main series. This spin-off tells the story of a group of teenagers who, growing up in a zombie-infested world, choose to depart from their colony and venture forth in pursuit of their own path.

Additionally, the series includes titles such as: Fear the Walking Dead: Dead in the Water, Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462, Fear the Walking Dead: Passage, The Walking Dead: Torn Apart, The Walking Dead: Cold Storage, The Walking Dead: The Oath, The Walking Dead: Red Machete, Tales of the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Dead City, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
