10 Massive TV Shows Nobody Is Watching
5. The Walking Dead
It may have acted as a small screen mainstay over the last decade or so, but The Walking Dead looks to be finally coming to a highly anticipated end later this year, with AMC fully decapitating the long-running epic after 11 seasons.
And while the show initially got off to a stellar start and even brought in an average of 14 million viewers by the time of its fifth season in 2014, the hype appears to have well and truly died off when it pertains to this zombie-infested horror show. Really highlighting how far the once must-see Norman Reedus and Jeffrey Dean Morgan-starring post-apocalyptic tale has fallen since its heyday, Season 10 could only muster around 3 million viewers on average. And for around $2-3 million per-episode, for a season boasting 22 entries, those falling numbers really don't justify that sort of financial output.
Hopefully the series can go out on an almighty bang this year and perhaps even bring in a few lapsed eyes for the grisly farewell too. But the early numbers for the first half of Season 11, released in 2021, don't seem to suggest this zombie-loving crowd will be returning from the dead any time soon.
