News broke earlier today that AMC's hit show, The Walking Dead, will be running 16 episodes for its third season. Show runner Glen Mazzara sat down with
The Wrap to talk about the show and its success. He also said that like the audience the writers are in the dark as to how the Zombie out break started.
"Internally, we don't know where the zombie outbreak started, how to cure it, anything like that. We haven't really discussed it. We're more interested in the continuing storylines. That's something that's not really addressed in the book, and that's something that we'd like to keep." But don't expect them to go into that any time soon because the show is more about the characters and staying alive rather than how the out break happened.
"This show is about our characters. And about them trying to stay alive, hold on to their humanity, find a safe place, hopefully rebuild civilization. Just everything's collapsed. So they're under incredible duress. It doesn't feel right that they would have those answers, and even if they did have those answers, what would they do with them?" Mazzara also went on to talk about why he thinks the show has been so successful after the first season and a half.
"I think part of the success of the show is that it feels immediate. It feels like we're following the little guys. And they don't have the answers and they desperately need them to survive." The show will return on February 12 with the episode titled
Nebraska.
