Similar to The Walking Dead comics, Negan violently killed both Abraham and Glenn to the shock of viewers, comprising two of the most hard to watch murders in TV history. The ploy worked in the short term, with huge viewership for season 7's premiere, with even some lapsed viewers coming back to see who Negan slayed. Negan had most of Rick's group lined up on their knees, pledging to kill one of them with his weapon Lucille right before the season ended. Season 6's finale famously saw the first appearance of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a character many would argue is The Walking Dead's quintessential villain. While Rick and company's adventures at Hershel's farm during season 2 are often pointed to as a lower point for The Walking Dead after a strong debut season, there was one particular event that seemed to spur a mass exodus from the fandom. The Walking Dead still remains a cash cow franchise for AMC. The Walking Dead may feature lots of rotting corpses, but the franchise's own death looks unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Not to mention that the show may still attract new viewers who've yet to see the older seasons still available on services like Netflix.
Those people will see their wish fulfilled when The Walking Dead signs off after season 11, but it will be a hollow victory, as the overall Walking Dead franchise is poised to continue for perhaps decades to come. The common refrain among many is that Walking Dead is far from its best days, and that the show really should have ended years ago. That is not to say that The Walking Dead does not have flaws, and that some seasons have not been much better than others.
