Long ago, a series based on a comic book called The Walking Deadhosted a panel at San Diego Comic Con 2010. This series had yet to air but was set to premiere on Halloween night that fall. Who would have known that 12 years later, this series would have extended to its eleventh and final season this fall?

Part one of The Walking Deads first panel was held on July 23, 2010, and didnt include any of the cast as no one knew them as their characters for this series. This panel comprisedAMC executive Joel Stillerman and executive producers Greg Nicotero, Gale Anne Hurd and Frank Darabont, and comic book creator Robert Kirkman.

During this panel, the guests explained to the attendees what to expect from this series and premiered the first trailer.

The first season of The Walking Dead consisted of six episodes, with the pilot running 90 minutes. Viewers would be introduced to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the group of survivors from the Atlanta area and follow them as they tried to find answers regarding a cure and a safe place to live.

During the second part of the 2010 Comic Con, Stillerman, Nicotero, Hurd and Darabont would be joined byAndrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, and Emma Bell. These are the actors who played Rick Grimes, Shane Walsh, Lori Grimes, and sisters Andrea and Amy.

It is interesting to note that 12 years later, none of the characters featured in the first Comic Con panel are currently on the series. Rick is the only survivor but left the series in season 9, but he is expected to return in a trilogy of movies.

This years event will see The Walking Dead host its final panel withNorman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Christian Serratos, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Seth Gilliam, Josh McDermitt, Michael James Shaw, Cailey FlemingandLauren Ridloff in attendance.
