Viewers have been obsessed with zombies ever since their initial emergence in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. From that moment on, audiences have lost their minds over the abounding films and shows that feature the undead, and The Walking Dead is arguably one of the most popular ones. If you’re dying to find similar shows, read on for suggestions that will satisfy your zombie appetite.The Walking Dead made its debut on AMC in 2010. The series is based on the comic books of the same name and follows a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies, or walkers as they are referred to in the show, have overrun the world. Those who have narrowly escaped the walkers’ warpath have to scavenge and fight against rival groups in order to survive. Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and the rest of their crew meet several villains along the way, including The Governor and Jadis. However, the ultimate bad guy is Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) whose weapon of choice is Lucille, a bat wrapped in barbed wire. The show, which is currently on its 11th and final season, has gained so much popularity and has served as an impetus for the creation of other zombie-centered shows.Related:10 'The Walking Dead' Character Deaths We're Still Mourning

Fear the Walking Dead

Creators: Robert Kirkman and Dave Erikson

Starring: Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Rubén Blades

Due to the immense popularity of The Walking Dead, AMC decided to create a spin-off titled Fear the Walking Dead. Unlike The Walking Dead, which thrust the audience right into the zombie apocalypse, the first three seasons of Fear serve as a prequel, showing us just how the chaos began. We are introduced to a Los Angeles-based family who learns about a deadly virus and does everything in their power to survive. Though the 7th season is currently airing on AMC, the show’s first six seasons are available on Hulu.

Do you have to watch The Walking Dead before watching Fear the Walking Dead? No. The two shows have different storylines and take place in different locations. The only character they have in common is Morgan Jones (Lennie James).
