The Walking Dead lives. The cast and crew of the AMC zombie drama assembled for a series wrap photo as the final season finished filming on Wednesday, marking the end of an era after 11 seasons and 12 years of production in Georgia. Cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, and Lauren Cohan are among the crowd, along with showrunner Angela Kang and series finale director Greg Nicotero. See the photos and a video capturing the moment producers called “wrap” on the eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead.
“11 seasons, 12 years, 177 episodes, 1 amazing fan base,” reads a message from AMC Networks commemorating a wrap on the series finale. “Thank you, #TWDFamily for joining us on this journey.”
