'Walking Dead' Producer On Governor's Odds And A 'Threatening' Season Four

Posted 4/8/13 9:52 am EST by in Image Comics, News, TV

Walking Dead

Don't start getting all hopeful for season four of "The Walking Dead." Sure, things could have ended much worse for Rick Grimes and the gang at the end of season three — the Governor has faded away into the background, the people of Woodbury are now safely aligned with Rick inside the prison walls — but the show's signature scares and body count will continue well into AMC's new season, according to executive producer Gale Anne Hurd.

"We are living in a zombie apocalypse," she told IGN. "We're living in an apocalypse where we know that unless someone has brain trauma, they're going to come back. Regardless of how they die, they're going to turn into a zombie. So I think it would be a good bet to say that the zombies become more threatening in seasons to come."

'The Walking Dead' Welcomes Three New Series Regulars

Posted 4/4/13 1:00 pm EST by in Image Comics, News, TV

The Walking Dead

by Brett White

It appears as though every cast member lucky enough to survive "Welcome to the Tombs" has been rewarded with series regular status. Sunday's third season finale drew an audience of 12.4 million people, making it the most watched show of the night and last week. These new cast members will have a lot more eyeballs on them a lot more regularly when "The Walking Dead" comes back this October. Of course this news means that these characters did not get zombified in the season finale, so you may want to steer clear of it if you haven't caught up with the AMC hit.

'The Walking Dead' Casting 'Roy Stark' In Season Four

Posted 4/3/13 2:45 pm EST by in Image Comics, News

The Walking Dead

A new character will soon be joining the cast of "The Walking Dead." Hot off the heels of the season three finale -- and the news that David Morrissey's the Governor will be returning in season four as a series regular -- it's been announced that AMC is looking for an actor to play a new character named Roy Stark.

According to TVLine, AMC is looking to make "Roy Stark" a series regular as well. He is described as "a former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past -- pre- and post-zombie apocalypse. As a result, he’s a bit of a loner, although he maintains a charming/self-deprecating/confident public face." This would call for an actor in his early 30s to mid 40s.

'The Walking Dead' Season Four Teased By Producers

Posted 4/2/13 2:45 pm EST by in Image Comics, News, TV

The Walking Dead

If catching up on "The Walking Dead" is still far down on your to-do list or you still haven't had time to finish Sunday night's season finale, hold off on reading any further. The spoilers are lurking below and we want you to be careful. Venture ahead with caution...

"The Walking Dead" might have ended season three on an up note, but there's a lot left up in the air for season four. The Governor is still alive -- and will return next season as a series regular -- and the fate of the now much larger prison group is still undetermined. Expect things to get bad fast when "The Walking Dead" returns in October.

"The Governor is still out there,” co-executive producer Denise Huth told Entertainment Weekly. “The war is not over. Rick and our group here won the first round and scared him off."

Walking Dead

by Brett White

If you aren't caught up on the third season of "The Walking Dead," or if you haven't seen last night's season finale, you may want to steer clear of this news. The sheer knowledge of this human being's involvement in season 4 of "The Walking Dead" is itself a spoiler. The casting news comes from The Hollywood Reporter, so we can be reasonably sure that it's not a truly delightful April Fool's Day joke.

Welcome to the Tombs

by Kat Rosenfield

And so begins the longest, dullest, dryest seven months of the year, at least when it comes to seeing zombie body parts go splat on AMC's "The Walking Dead". Boo! The season came to a bloody, bullet-riddled, breathtaking end last night, as we bid goodbye to the Deep South survivors of the walker apocalypse until Season 4 returns next October... and psssst, this is a finale, so certain of said survivors may be getting a more permanent send-off, too. So place your bets, grab your tissues, and get ready to find out who was welcomed to the tombs — in more ways than one — in the final moments of season 3.

'The Walking Dead' Prepares For 'Welcome To The Tombs'

Posted 3/25/13 2:15 pm EST by in Image Comics, TV, Video

TWD

The season three finale for "The Walking Dead" is finally less than a week away. Rick and the Governor will seemingly finally face off in "Welcome to the Tombs," and some promos for the upcoming episode have popped up online. Spoilers from last night's episode lurk ahead, so proceed at your own risk.

In a 30-second teaser for episode 16 of season three, it is revealed that the Governor will continue to torture Andrea as he prepares to assault the Prison. Michonne doesn't seem to be too happy with Rick now that she's found out he considered turning her over to the Governor even though he tells her, "You're one of us," and the Governor rallies his troops in Woodbury for the upcoming battle. The Woodbury leader certainly has the right artillery for the attack too, as one of his fighters can be seen shooting a rocket launcher at one of the Prison's watchtowers.

Posted 3/25/13 10:13 am EST by in Commentary, Image Comics, Review, TV

This Sorrowful Life

by Kat Rosenfield

With only a week left in the season, the latest episode of "The Walking Dead" was only a warm-up. The real carnage should come on next week's season finale, which, in the manner to which fans have become accustomed, is rumored to be an out-and-out bloodbath. "This Sorrowful Life", on the other hand, involved only a couple of sad goodbyes — and one cause for (quiet, non-zombie-attracting) celebration. Ready? Here's what went down.

SPOILERS AHEAD.
