Watch The Complete Paley Fest Panel For THE WALKING DEAD

The Walking Dead is an American horror/drama television series developed by Frank Darabont, Robert Kirkman and Gale Anne Hurd. It is based on the comic book series of the same name by Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. The series stars Andrew Lincoln as sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from a coma to find the world dominated by flesh-eating "walkers", resembling zombies. He sets out to find his family and encounters many other survivors along the way. The eponymous title of the series refers to the survivors, and not the zombies, as they are all infected by the zombie virus.
