The Walking Dead producers revealed that they toned down the violence for the rest of season 7.
Following The Walking Dead’s season 7 premiere, many fans were shocked and disgusted after they saw their favorite characters tortured and bludgeoned to death. The scenes were so jaw-dropping that many fans promised to boycott the show for being too violent. Apparently, The Walking Dead producers were paying attention to their fans and have reportedly cut back the amount of violence on the show in the remaining episodes of the season. Variety reported that the show’s executive producer, Gale Ann Hurd broke the news during the NATPE conference. From Variety:
“We were able to look at the feedback on the level of violence,” Hurd said during a panel session at the NATPE conference. “We did tone it down for episodes we were still filming for later on in the season.”
Hurd also revealed that she never thought the show would become a hit nor would The Talking Dead be successful. With that being said, The Walking Dead has more problems than just violence on the show. The zombie drama has lost millions of viewers following the season 7 premiere. What do you think?
