AMC Renews 'The Walking Dead' For Third Season!

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/25/walking-dead-third-season/

Zombies rule: AMC has just renewed The Walking Dead for a third season.

The decision comes after only two episodes have aired of season two, but it’s still no surprise — the show’s premiere had more adults 18-49 than any other drama in basic cable history. (And for once, AMC has managed to renew a show without a protracted hand-wringing negotiation!).

Ratings for Sunday’s second episode: 6.7 million total viewers, 4.5 million adults 18-49. Including repeats, the full count climbs to 8.8 million viewers. That’s down 8 percent from the premiere (and down 20 percent if you include the repeats), but hell, at these levels TWD can still give viewers away like Halloween candy.

How long will it take for them to produce it... three years?

Probably Fall of 2012 when it comes back after this seasons is done.

I thought they shot their series in the spring to summer of the year in which they are going to debut a new season but I could be wrong.

I just want it to come out asap.

thats awesome news!

Year... I saw some behind the scenes footage from the first day of shooting season 2 - they were in the midst of a heat wave.

Yep; would suck to be outdoors in the blistering heat but they also are working on an awesome show.

I thought the second episode while mostly slow again was still great.

Very sad scenes when Carl was told about his dad being shot and then Carl's mom [still not great with names. ] was told about him being shot.

They always end the episodes with some bad predicament it seems.

I hope the guys can hurry back to help with Carl's operation.
