17. HBO Passed On Airing The Show
It may come as a surprise to some just how much violence the show gets away with. It may also surprise some that AMC wasn’t chosen as the initial home for the show, as HBO passed on it, along with NBC on the count of the massive blood and gore. Need we remind you that these are the networks that have aired Game of Thrones and Hannibal?
Refusing to cut back on the “offensive” content, the producers settled with AMC, a network that allowed them to remain true to their source material. Who’s ever heard of a non-violent zombie flick anyway?
