Are you lost in all the Walking Dead episodes too? We collect supplies

With over 330 episodes, The Walking Dead franchise is now one of the most prolific on American television. It all started in 2010, with the launch of a horror series based on the comic of the same name by Robert Kirkman; After eleven seasons of good and loyal service, the program ended in December 2022 to make way for several spin-offs.

Which TV series should you watch?

Since then, three new series have seen the light of day: Dead City, Daryl Dixon and most recently The Ones Who Live, a mini-series that reunites Rick Grimes and Michonne. Thus bringing the total number of horror-derived series to seven, counting the main series. But of course, it is not necessary to watch all these series.

For example, Fear the Walking Dead, after the first spin-off aired alongside the first series. Although there are plot connections between the two programs, it’s not necessary to watch the two series, which are designed to be watched independently.

The same goes for World Beyond, although Season 2 sees the return of an iconic character (Jadis, the former leader of the Garbage Kids). And Tales of the Walking Dead is also part of a standalone franchise, a horror anthology that features several characters never before seen in the franchise.

5 subscriptions required to watch the full Walking Dead!

However, things are different for the three new spin-offs. By itself, it’s perfectly possible to watch Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and The Ones Who Live in any order, since the plots of these series are not connected to each other. Watching the main series The Walking Dead is not required, but knowledge of the hero’s journey is still recommended.

Why do Maggie and Negan hate each other? Who is Daryl Dixon? How did Rick Grimes disappear overnight? So many questions are answered by the flashback scenes, but which cannot replace eleven seasons of intrigue and narrative development. But of course not every season of The Walking Dead is worth watching, especially the last one…

The full The Walking Dead is available on Netflix; Fear the Walking Dead is available on myCANAL and Prime Video (which also offers World Beyond; OCS offers Tales of the Walking Dead and Dead City; finally, the rights to Daryl Dixon and The Ones Who Live are owned by Paramount+!
