The Walking Dead confirmed for 10th season
The Twitter account for The Walking Dead released a small teaser indicating the 10th season is on the way. It also shows that things are going to become a lot creepier all around.
The season will be based on the “Whisperers” arc of the long running comic book. We do not wish to spoil what happens for those who have not read the comic and want to experience the reveal on the show. At most, all we can say is that the communities discover a new type of threat roaming with the undead.
For fans of the comic by Robert Kirkman, the Whisperers arc resulted in the deaths of many favorite characters. Admittedly, though, this is a common trait of most major The Walking Dead story arcs.
The Walking Dead
Once one of the biggest shows on television, The Walking Dead has begun to hit a ratings slump over the previous two seasons. A great deal of this has been attributed to several prominent actors leaving or being written off the show. However, the casting woes are not the only trouble the show has had over it’s 9 season run.
The show’s very high rate of turnover of showrunners has also proven problematic. The list of showrunners includes Frank Darabont, Glen Mazzara, Scott M. Gimple. Angela Kang is producer as of season 9.
The changing franchise
The Walking Dead may end up taking on other forms as the show’s popularity wanes. It was recently reported that The Walking Dead team and AMC are producing a film trilogy to wrap up the fate of the show’s 8 season lead Rick Grimes.
Recent reports also suggest that there may be the potential for a Maggie Rhee spin off. There are rumors of a spin off about fan-favorite Michonne based on the lack of clear confirmation in her involvement in season 10.
This of course, doesn’t even factor the original spin off Fear the Walking Dead. Could Fear the Walking Dead result in further spin offs? Time will tell.
Regardless of how casting negotiations and content expansion discussions go, it seems clear that the show is not likely to rot away just quite yet.

If you live in the United States, it’s time to rock the vote for real. I shared this video before in conjunction with my identity-based costume work, and I feel it’s important to revisit now, with the election coming up in just a few days. Besides which, Jack Black and Tenacious D are brilliant and given the current political climate, who doesn’t want to do the time warp? But seriously, get out and rock the vote, your life kinda does depend on it (at least insomuch as being able to make for yourself the life that you want, without the government telling you how to do so – especially if you live on the fringes of socially acceptable awkwardness like me and so many of my friends).
Besides which, this video is so good, it’s worth sharing again anyway. And again, if for some reason the video doesn’t load, you can find it here.
Art Attack
And here are some artworks I made awhile back as political commentary. The photograph was shot of the scene exactly as found, of a sign above a parking lot in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood making sure all knew that any unauthorized vehicles were unwelcome, and hung right in front of a flag that was tattered and torn from being caught on the chain link fence driving the point home. The flags were meant to be interactive, with gallerygoers waving them while singing The Star Spangled Banner in its elitist entirety. The whole really spoke to me regarding some of the political climate at the time (this was right before Trump was elected President the first time). How much has changed since then? In some ways, a lot. In other ways, I guess we shall see.
