The Walking Dead is set in a post-apocalyptic world, but the exact year is not specified in the show or comic series.

The Walking Dead is a popular television show and comic series that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. While the exact year is not specified in the show or comic series, it is generally understood to be set in the present day or a slightly alternate version of it. The story follows a group of survivors as they navigate the dangers of the zombie-infested world and try to find safety and a sense of normalcy. The lack of a specific year allows the show and comic series to focus more on the characters and their struggles rather than the specific time period. It also adds to the sense of uncertainty and chaos that permeates the world of The Walking Dead.
