The Walking Dead is AMC's hit TV show that follows a group of zombie apocalypse survivors with the head of the pack being Rick Grimes, a former police officer and family man. The Walking Dead is based of a comic series by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. The show was an instant success and gained a second season well before it's first was even over.

Now with the buzz for season 2 running high the cast and crew of the show seem to be spilling out more details. Which is what the shows producer Gale Anne Hurd did in a brief interview with Screen Junkies. Read what she had to say on season 2 below:


Q: What are you excited to explore in the next season?

Gale Anne Hurd: We had six episodes to set up the world and to introduce the characters and now I think we can go even more deeply into each of our ensemble cast members.

Q: So each one could maybe star in their very own episode?

GAH: Exactly, we’ve had stories that concentrate on one character or another and I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of that this season.

Q: Who have we not heard from enough yet?

GAH: I think there’s still a lot more that we can learn from Daryl, the Norman Reedus character. I think that episodes focusing on Lori played by Sarah Wayne Callies, we’ve got a great triangle between Rick, Laurie and Shane. I have a sneaking suspicion that might be something we’re going to explore even more deeply in the new season.

Q: Do you wish you’d done more than six?

GAH: You know, we barely survived the six so now we’re geared up and we’ve got it dialed in so now we have the energy and I think the right team in place to do 13.

Q: Do you have any new zombie ideas to explore?

GAH: I think we pretty much set up the world of zombies. They’re not insane bolt sprinters. I think Greg Nicotero’s makeup effects are tremendous. We’re here because Stargate was nominated for best supporting visual effects and I think their work is seamless and we’ll be able to give them more to do this season.


The Walking Dead season 2 is expected to be airing on AMC this Fall.
