For those in need of a zombie fix, AMC has unveiled more "Walking Dead" season two teasery goodness today, courtesy an action-packed, minute-and-a-half trailer.

The teaser opens with the crew on the run, and a voiceover by Rick.

"We're facing a long hard journey, maybe even harder than we can imagine," says the fearless leader, as we see images of each of the cast members, their faces and body language full of anxiety. "I don't know what our chances are, slim I guess," Rick continues, and we see him alone on top of a roof, speaking into a walkie, followed by a shot of him aiming his rifle at something.

Walking DeadWill Frank Darabont's departure from "The Walking Dead" be a frequent point of conversation when "The Talking Dead" airs? I'm not sure about that, but it's nonetheless refreshing to finally hear some thoughts from the cast about how the show is doing without Frank.

Entertainment Weekly has an extensive new interview with several members of the cast and crew of "The Walking Dead," including newly appointed showrunner Glen Mazzara, who's already spoken out about the subject of Darabont's exit. But it's the first you'll hear from actors Jon Bernthal (Shane), Steven Yeun (Glenn) and Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) on the topic, all of whom provide great insight into how they're dealing with the original showrunner's loss on and off the set.

“This will always be Frank’s show,” said Bernthal. “This is Frank’s creation, Frank is the heart and soul, and as far as I’m concerned he always will be. That might piss some people off to hear, but Frank is all over this second season.”

Aired during last night's off-the-charts episode of "Breaking Bad," the new "Walking Dead" TV spot (courtesy of Bloody Disgusting) highlights the inner conflict at the core of Rick Grimes and his group of survivors.

Greg NicoteroFollowing Frank Darabont's unceremonious departure from "The Walking Dead," outlook hasn't been overwhelmingly positive regarding the post-zombie apocalypse TV series. But here's a healthy helping of good news for you: Greg Nicotero, the legendary FX artist responsible for creating the titular flesh-craving, blood-hungry walking dead, is upping his role with the series in some seriously significant ways.

AMC has just announced that Nicotero has been named co-executive producer of "The Walking Dead," joining the ranks of fellow producers Robert Kirkman (creator of the comic books and one of the show's lead writers) and Gale Anne Hurd of "Aliens" and "Terminator" fame. Not only has Nicotero been upgraded to co-executive producer status, but Deadline reports that the FX mastermind will also be directing an episode of the show's second season.

The Walking DeadAs "The Walking Dead" crawls closer to its second season premiere date, you can expect a flurry of news and interviews about the show's upcoming return from the off-season grave. Today, we've got two new updates worth biting into.

First, TV Line spoke with series creator Robert Kirkman and executive producer David Alpert about the season premiere, which promises to "cross a line, and that line is awesome."

“I think we cross some lines in this first episode," said Kirkman, who adds that we'll learn more about the "digestive system of a zombie" in the new season. “Let me be honest, it’s definitely a little more visceral than we’ve gotten in the previous season. I’m excited about coming out of the gate with that punch in the very first episode of this season, so hold on to your seats.”
