It's only just begun filming States-side but anticipation is very high for the upcoming second season of the acclaimed Frank Darabont/ Gale Anne Hurd produced continuation of the Robert Kirkman created graphic novel hit, THE WALKING DEAD, when it returns to TV screens this October. Picking up where the previous six episode Season One left off, our band of hero human survivors led by Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) continue their desperate road trip across America, away from the worlds now infected Zombie populace.

Here's the brief but fun trailer for Season Two as first seen this week on the UK's FX channel: YouTube - ‪The Walking Dead - Temporada 2 [Season 2] - Teaser‬‏

Joining the main cast, whose characters will have more dramatic conflicts/tense inter-action this season, will be Scott Wilson as Hershel Greene -the owner of a large farmstead our heroes run into, SUPERNATURAL's Lauren Cohen as the steely, horse riding Maggie (Hershel's daughter and a new love interest for Glenn (played by Steven Yeun)), and DEADWOOD/THE X-FILES Pruitt Taylor Vince as farm hand Otis. Hopefully, as well as the possible return of the always great Michael Rooker as the revenge fuelled one armed man, Merle Dixon, they'll also be a lot more Zombie action this year, too, as the series run has extended to thirteen episodes. Despite rumours of unwanted budget cuts, positive behind the scenes rumours persist that legendary Horror-meister Stephen King may contribute an episode in either Season Two or Three. Oh, and we'll also finally find out what that little whisper was all about between the late scientist Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) and Grimes from the Season One finale. Hopefully it'll be something very shocking and game-changing for the series and its characters!
