THE WALKING DEAD gets Renewed for Season 3!
AMC has unsurprisingly revealed that they have renewed thier hit series The Walking Dead for a third season! This is some awesomely exciting news! I love this series and so far season 2 has delivered the goods, and it's a comfort to know that we will see the story continue at least for one more season. Obviously Frank Darabont will have no hand at all with the shows third season. This zombie epic is a hit series, audiences love it, and I wonder how long it will go for. What do you think?
From the Press Release:
