Theme of the TV series

The Walking Dead enlightens the tale of an undersized group of survivors, existing during the after effects of a zombie disaster. The primary season of the serial occurs in the city area of Atlanta, and from the second season to the fourth season, the serial is taken in the nearby landscape of northern Georgia. Survivors look for a protected refuge away from the shuffling crowds of predatory biters or walkers, called as zombies that consume any living item they grab, and whose bite is swiftly poisonous to humans. The plot concentrates chiefly on the quandaries that the surviving group faces while they struggle to sustain their humankind during the everyday challenges of existing in a muddled world, alive with zombie hordes and aggressive human survivors.

Music and soundtrack

The score for the Walking Dead series was performed by Bear McCreary, a composer and musician from America. According to McCreary, the main subject was derived from his viewing of creative designs for the opening name sequence. In place of doing a complete theme song like with his previous works, McCreary decided to exercise a simple, recurring design from the string section.
