The Walking Dead Season 3 Mid Season Trailer
Fans of “The Walking Dead” still have to wait until February for the second half of the series’ third season, but a new trailer for that midseason return — which packs a whole lot of teasing — might make that wait more bearable
There’s chaos in the “town” of Woodbury, as the one-eyed Governor plots out his revenge on Rick and his gang at the prison, while Andrea’s loyalties come into question. And Carl, who thankfully has learned when to stay in the house, appears ready to start issuing his own orders and tells his dad, “You should stop being the leader.”
There’s a whole lot of slicing and dicinh yet to come when “The Walking Dead” returns Feb. 10 on AMC.
The Walking Dead Season 3 Prison Is Making Creator Robert Kirkman Uncomfortable
The Walking Dead Season 3 is debuting on October 14, and AMC is having a blast keeping fans salivating in anticipation of the hit show’s return. Last week, we saw the release of a new poster for the season, and an even better poster celebrating the show’s ten million Facebook fan milestone, paying tribute to the film The Social Network.
Now, AMC is sharing a video tour of the prison, where much of the third season will take place. If you’re familiar with the comics, you’ll know the prison well. The tour is led by none other than Robert Kirkman, the writer and creator of the comics.
“It’s really blowing me away…I never imagined that I would be here standing in this prison,” says Kirkman. “It’s really strange to think about all of the pages coming in from Charlie Adlard – you know, seven, eight years ago – when we were doing the prison storyline in the comic book, and watching the way he drew the prison cells, and all the little nuances and stuff that we put into the comic book prison, and then to see people looking at those comics and taking inspiration from that, and then constructing it in real life, and being able to actually go onto second levels, and walk upstairs, and go in cells and stuff, it is absolutely just completely bizarre.”
“Things that are in comics should never exist in real life,” he adds. “I feel really uncomfortable here.”
The Walking Dead Season 3 Spoilers and Photos – MERLE IS BACK
Warning: The following contains spoilers for the third season of The Walking Dead.
If the promise of the Prison, The Governor and Michonne wasn’t enough to keep fans of The Walking Dead salivating for the third season, new photos from the set of the AMC drama reveal the return of a long-absent character to further complicate the lives of Rick Grimes and the other survivors.
As you probably guessed, that character isn’t tormented widower Morgan Jones, but rather Merle Dixon (played by veteran actor Michael Rooker), the racist meth addict who disappeared in the third episode of Season 1 (“Tell It to the Frogs”), leaving only his dismembered hand and a trail of blood to remember him by. Sure, he cropped up again last season in a hallucination to taunt his injured brother Daryl (Norman Reedus), but that hardly counts. In the third season, it’s the real Merle Dixon, missing hand and all.
The first set photo shows Rooker wearing a bayonet where his right hand used to be; undoubtedly, Merle has dreams of sinking that blade into Rick and T-Dog, who left him handcuffed on the rooftop of that Atlanta department store as walkers overran the building (brother Daryl is probably on the stabbin’ list, too). Note that the vehicle appears to be the same one David Morrissey’s Governor is shown standing beside in the official image released last week, suggesting that Merle made his way to Woodbury after stealing the survivors’ truck in Season 1. Early speculation fell on Merle becoming The Governor, so having him allied with the bloodthirsty dictator is perhaps the next-best scenario. What a nice surprise for Rick & Co.
The second photo is significantly cheerier, showing a smiling, two-handed Rooker signing an autograph for a young fan. It’s probably the same expression Merle will have when he reunites with Rick, T-Dog and Daryl. Okay, probably not.
The Walking Dead returns in October on AMC.
The Walking Dead Exclusive First Look: David Morrissey Makes His Debut as The Governor
The Governor has arrived!
The third season of The Walking Dead will feature the introduction of one of the most formidable villains on the AMC series: The Governor (David Morrissey), a character fromRobert Kirkman‘s graphic novels who is the vicious leader of Woodbury, a small settlement of survivors. TVGuide.com has the exclusive first look at The Governor, who also becomes one of Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) greatest foes in the comic series.
Walking Dead Postmortem: Which new character holds the key to the group’s future?
“Seeing The Walking Dead come to life on AMC has been a real thrill for me, obviously, and moving into Season 3 I’m even more excited than ever because now I feel like we’re really getting to ‘the good stuff,'” Kirkman tells TVGuide.com. “Having The Governor in the mix is going to fundamentally change the show in all kinds of awesome and exiting ways. And David Morrissey totally rocks!”
For those worried that AMC might be a diluted version of the villain who went on to take something, ahem, very important away from Rick in the comics, fear not! “The Governor in the show is definitely going to be The Governor in the comic,” Kirkman told us following the Season 2 finale. “I think that he’s definitely going to be a character that people love to hate and are absolutely entertained by, but also somewhat terrified of. He’s definitely going to be a very important character and a very nuanced character. We are not going to be watering him down.”
