C'mon, admit it, you were just as totally gobsmacked, surprising and heartbroken as I was by the closing minutes to the mid-season finale of THE WALKING DEAD Season Two last year, weren't ya? What a brilliantly poignant, played and directed sequence, eh? And now, after what had previously been a slow burning first half, things look set to intensify story-wise within the Zombie apocalypse drama's second batch (showing in the US from 12th February, and in the UK, on the UK's FX and HD channels, from 17th February), as old time values former veterinarian Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson), emotionally devastated by recent events, orders our already fractured, often personality clashing heroes to immediately leave his family's farmhouse estate following the death of his once friends and loved ones-a situation that Sheriff Rick (Andrew Grimes) and his Gypsy-like group of survivors-already in an equally terrible state after having had to kill one of their own- are just not willing to accommodate. And it will be at this weakest point in their lives so far, as emotional division, mayhem, gun play and violence erupt, that the Zombie hordes will surely make an unwanted en masse re-appearance against one of Humanity's few outposts...

Beyond this popular year, which had record smashing ratings with its opening episodes (despite some behind the scenes and critical frictions), work commences apace behind the scenes for the AMC quickly commissioned Season Three, lasting a longer run of sixteen episodes this time, of which a new town set and leagues of Zombies have put been put into preparation on location in Georgia, described by insiders as "Zombie Central." The IMDB site has also reported that a new character, not from Robert Kirkman's original graphic novels, Philip Eagle (played by Marvin Duerkholz), will be around to add to the character drama. As to whether the books popular Governor, and mass Zombie killer, Philip Blake, will be in it, though, hasn't been fully confirmed but looks more than likely.
