“The Walking Dead” takes home the award for Best Horror Series at the Saturn Awards 2022

this 2022 The walking dead turns 12 on the screen, this in full broadcast of its 11th season, which can be seen on Disney + or Star +, and which will conclude the entire zombie journey that has thrilled its fans in recent years. And just four episodes from saying goodbye to the screens, he just received the award for the best horror series of the Press Saturn 2022.

These awards are organized by the Science fiction, fantasy and horror academy since its founding in 1972. Although they do not have the prestige of other awards such as the Emmys, the Golden Globes or those awarded by the Hollywood Syndicates, they are a reference point for fans of these popular genres.

Now, reviewing the winners of this 2022 episode, we have titles like “No” for best science fiction movie, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” for best superhero movie or “Everything Everywhere” for best fantasy movie. In the categories of the best series we have Stranger Things, Loki or Obi Wan-Kenobi instead.

Even so, the “The Walking Dead” award for best horror series never ceases to amaze. This is because despite being one of the most followed series of recent years, it is not that it has been a favorite with critics or that it has received great accolades, so it must have been a surprise for his work team as well. .

‘The Walking Dead’ surpasses many of the most popular series of the moment

Already in 2021 ‘The Walking Dead’ had been among the candidates for the Choice of criticism and also al Hollywood Critics Association, but he didn’t win any prizes there. Now this 2022, the Saturn Awards decide to commemorate him over series like “American Horror Story: Double Feature”, “Chucky”, “Fear the Walking Dead”, “From” and “What we do in the shadows”.

The victory over the latter is the one that might surprise the most, since this horror comedy by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi has been praised by critics and audiences, and not only, but it is one of the favorites at the Emmy Awards, the most prestigious of the small screen. So this award will eventually complement all the success the series has had with audiences.

This is how ‘The Walking Dead’ ends, being a mainstream phenomenon, an award within the horror genre. But it will also leave a legacy of several spin-offs: those with Daryl, Rick and Michonne and Maggie and Negan, the already veteran “Fear The Walking Dead” and the anthological “Tales of the Walking Dead”, so we will still have zombies for a bit’.
