Announced by AMC at the Television Critics Association (TCA) last Saturday, and posted in several sites like Comic Book Movie and Superherohype, AMC's third season of their popular survival horror series The Walking Dead will be getting 16 episodes! In addition to revealing a new promo poster that reminds viewers that the 13 episode strong Season 2 will resume with Episode 8 on February 12, the channel has also stated that their international broadcast partner, Fox International Channels, will be following the 16 episode order for Season 3.
Via Deadline, Slash Film, and Enewsi,Frank Darabont, the executive producer, director, and creator of AMC's TV Adaptation of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead", is stepping down and giving up his position as showrunner of the series. Having just appeared at the show's panel presentation at this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, this comes as big and surprising news to fans, since Darabont was the lead figure responsible for tackling and directing creative duties in the first season. With the second season slated to debut on October 16, his departure will not affect the schedule, but it may promote his number 2 man, Glen Mazzara of "The Shield" fame, to the top man position. How this will affect the future of the show remains to be seen, but it's sad to see a well known creative face taking a back seat at the cusp of what is already considered a great TV series.

The Walking Dead Season 2 premieres on October 16 on AMC!
Finally making its way online after being shown at AMC's official Walking Dead panel at the San Diego Comic Con, here's the four minute plus trailer to the hotly anticipated second season of Frank Darabont's TV Series adaptation of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead"! If you're a fan of the show, it picks up right after the finale of the last season, showing Rick Grimes and his fellow group of survivors back on the road and desperately trying to survive day-by-day from the living dead. SPOILERS are evidently present if you have no idea what this series is about, so I recommend not viewing this primer to Season 2 if you haven't watched or read anything Walking Dead related. Otherwise, go on and click on the player below to get a taste of what's going to happen when the new season premieres this fall!
The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer
Just like what you see, Rick, Shane, Lori, Glenn, Dale, and the rest of the survivors return. Dissension, desperation, and survival are certainly the main themes going on here, and just when the stakes are getting high for the group, they meet up with a new group of survivors living on an isolated farm. Fans of the comic book series will definitely know who I'm referring to, so for more info, visit the official AMC Walking Dead website! Here's the official poster again below if you didn't see it the first time, as designed by Punisher and Blade comic book artist Tim Bradstreet!
