The Walking Deadis terminate and the enfranchisement is ignoring the consummate choice for a spin - off show . A twelvemonth after Maker Robert Kirkman suddenly harbinger thatThe Walking Deadcomic serial publication was coming to an end with take # 193 , AMC announce that the long - running show would end with the 11th time of year in 2022 . Despite that full - closure on the mainline series , AMC still has plans to extend the franchise : Fear The Walking Deadis still ongoing and the cancelation announcement came with the Apocalypse that a new spin - off centered on Daryl and Carol is also on the way .

While the confirmation that the new spin - off starring lover pet Daryl and Carol ( Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride ) is a smart pick base on available options , it close down off the chance for the utter twist - off that AMC should have made : Clementine ’s story .
Clementine was , of line , the hotshot of Telltale Games ' escapade video game serial publication that spun off fromRobert Kirkman ’s comic seriesand the video show in 2012 . Not only were the games hugely successful , but that success was tied to the impact of Clementine as a character . She was deliberate the worked up centre - piece of the games ' level , inspire a near - intuitive protective instinct in player because of the fashion the series was localize up . Her storey would finally become so crucial to the dealership as a whole that Telltale ’s sudden closure could n’t stop it ; instead Robert Kirkman brought former Telltale staff together to complete the unfinished final season offer her closure .
Though Clementine ’s write up has been distinguish in game form , that does not entail it would n’t be a serious choice for AMC than over - extending theCarol and Darly storey . They may beThe Walking Dead ’s most democratic theatrical role , but there ’s only so much can be done with a spin - off that would differentiate it from the main show . And there ’s certainly a danger of the spin - off only treading the same water . In contrast , retelling Clementine ’s story in a television show would have the welfare of an audience who already get laid her and the case law of the success of the Telltale Games ' series . That amounts to get over record and a absorbed interview , not to mention how compelling Clementine ’s news report is .
There ’s also the fact that Clementine ’s story would act an entirely different dynamic to the main show , since she is a untried child at the get-go of her arc . That would at once guarantee that a ClementineWalking Deadspin - offwould be fundamentally different to what has fall before , and this is absolutely a dealership that could do with reinvigoration in a meaningful elbow room . Yes , her story has been told in the games , but by the time they ended , Clementine was still only a teenager and even if the show focused on retelling the plot account , there would be huge potential to take the darling character even further into her own side of theWalking Deaduniverse .
