The Walking Deadis still alive.

AMC announced it has renewed the popular zombie soap-opera for an eleventh season, Varietyreports.

The legendary drama follows survivors as they avoid both decaying, slow-moving walking dead and aggressive clans of people in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse.

The series — labeled the "most boring show on television" by Mashable entertainment writer Kellen Beck in 2018 — will get a potential boost in Season 11 with the return of star Lauren Cohan, who played Maggie Greene before her departure after Season 9.

"It's rare that anything actually moving happens," noted Beck after the start of Season 9.

AMC, however, has a starkly different view of the series and its future.

“The Walking Deadburst out of the gate 10 years ago as a genre show that had all the character depth of a top-tier prestige drama,” Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group & AMC Studios, said in a statement. “And now 10 years later — led by the brilliant Angela Kang and fueled by one of the most consistently talented casts in television — this phenomenon is flourishing creatively, with critics and audiences embracing its reset.

The show, even with declining viewership, is likely still quite profitable for AMC. As The Wrap noted, "despite the downward trend — which is more or less in line with across-the-board cable ratings declines in recent years — the once-massively popular zombie drama remains the most-watched non-sports program on cable."

Season 10 premieres on Sunday, Oct. 6.
