The Walking Dead Universe, a post-apocalyptic horror television series based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, presents a world one year after the zombie apocalypse. Society was divided, and the world was overrun by flesh-eating walkers (zombies), and in chaos, the remnants of civilized communities.
The series begins when Kentucky Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to this terrifying new world. Become the leader of a group of survivors from Atlanta, Georgia, who struggle to survive under the near-constant threat of attacks from zombies and other hostile human communities. The characters are tested by ethical conflicts, losses, hope for better days and the desire to protect their new family.
