The Walking Dead description - The Walking Dead is a horror drama that airs on the AMC cable channel and tells the tale of a handful of survivors after a zombie apocalypse. Set mostly in rural Georgia, the story focuses on the efforts of a sheriff's deputy, Rick, to keep the group together and deal with the mounting problems of a world without law and dwindling supplies.

Other group members include Rick's pregnant wife Lori, his son Carl, partner Shane, attorney Andrea, survivalist Daryl, community-conscious Dale and pizza delivery driver Glenn. As time moves on and tensions mount, the group often finds itself facing moral dilemmas, becoming more divided and edging ever closer to an "every man for himself" mentality. Rick is especially affected by the changed world and the attitudes surrounding him, and he discovers there is an ambiguous gray area between right and wrong.

While the show features many grotesque, flesh-gobbling zombies, they only serve as a backdrop for the plight of the survivors, who are the true walking dead. Running short on food, medical support and places to hide, the group knows their options will soon run out and they will be forced to fight or die.

The Walking Dead has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Television Series Drama and has broken several records for a cable series. The final episode of the second season drew nearly 10 million viewers, making it the highest rated drama ever on basic cable. The third season is expected to begin in October 2012.
