The Walking Dead Timeline, How Far into the Apocalypse Are they?

This is a question that I often search in terms of the Walking Dead, with the Walking Dead timeline often being something that is very difficult to find an accurate record of online. In using this blog post however, I will attempt to answer all of those questions such as “how long was Rick Grimes at the farm?” or when did Rick take out Shane, or how long were they at the Prison, etc. etc. It is really cool when watching the show to note how far into the game they are, and of how long they have been persisting out there and attempting to build a life, because I think it adds something to the actors characters to know this. And so, this blog post will take the format of a list, where I run through every single significant event in the show, and of how many days into the Walking Dead timeline it is.

Day 1 – The outbreak starts

Day 3 – Power goes out in LA

Day 16 – Atlanta falls and the Government tries to helicopter take out the zombies

Day 59 – Rick wakes up from his Coma in the hospital, it is speculated this is about 4 days after Shane put the bed in front of the door.

Day 60 – Glenn helps rescue Rick Grimes from the Tank

The Walking Dead Timeline, How far Into the Apocalypse Are They? Final Thoughts

So, in the show, much like in that of reality, this has been going on for 10 years, much like the actual run time length of the show itself. Kind of crazy to think about surviving in these types of circumstances for 10 years straight, and its amazing to see how time flies even in the show and of how fast the characters are living. Now that I’m writing this I am realizing how time flies, nuff said. Subscribe to our blog for additional details and information on all things TWD.
