Listen "S2 Ep5: "The Walking Dead" Turns 21"
Episode Synopsis
This being Halloween season, we thought it was the perfect time to speak with the business brains behind one of the most successful and goriest franchises of all time, “The Walking Dead.”
David Alpert is the co-founder and CEO of Skybound, the home of “The Walking Dead” and many other titles including “Invincible.” He built the company with legendary comic book creator Robert Kirkman, who began TWD comic series 21 years ago.
That’s right, the Walking Dead is finally old enough to drink. And with stats like these, it deserves a celebratory glass of the good stuff:
Most watched show on basic cable ever in the U.S.
Over 330 episodes across 7 live-action TV series
Most watched serialized show on Netflix with 1.3 billion viewing hours
$1 billion in revenue from gaming alone
