zombies is a beloved zombie apocalypse TV series based on a comic book series with no shortage of brutality and gore. And there was a similar plan to capture this in the adaptation of this work, however not everyone was interested in such a gory series – the networks suggested that the adaptation would have to be toned down to make it..

Like Greg Nicotero, one of the creators zombieshe recalled during an interview with The Huffington Postthese suggestions were not accepted by Gale Anne Hurd, a producer she had previously worked for finishedamong other things, and who knew what if TWD it had to work, it couldn’t deviate from what characterized the source material. As a result, he knew he had to say no to giants like NBC and HBO, as their executives demanded a departure from the source material and a significant reduction in graphic violence.. So they heard from her, “No thanks.”

The staunch producer has found a home for zombies at AMC, which didn’t have the same conditions as NBC and HBO, allowing the show’s creators to stay true to the comics. In turn, this proved to be the path to success, as TWD it turned out to be a huge hit that stayed on the show for a long time and continues to be developed through spin-offs. AMC’s collaboration with the creators of zombies is thriving and shows that making a violent TV series is possible and can be successful. And even for maintaining this character of the show it is appreciated by the viewers.

Nicotero expressed his satisfaction that they were finally able to make it work with AMC, which “fully embraces this show.”

Soaking of TWD it could turn out to be a mistake and hurt the production, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the biggest threat isn’t zombies hunting humans, but humans themselves. After all, for this brutality, among other things, the series is appreciated by viewers.
