HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON "THE WALKING DEAD" SHOW: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SEASON FOUR! NEW PHOTOS AND SUPER EXCITING NEW TRAILER!

  THE WALKIND DEAD

 SEASON FOUR INFO

So tell me, my zombie fans, how ready are you for the beginning of the fourth run of the mega popular show THE WALKING DEAD? The new season starts in October, but we already have first promo pictures, a trailer and tidbits on what will be happening with the survivors of the zombie apocalypse from Autumn! This weekend at Comic Con the first, extremely long, exciting trailer for the new season has been revealed too! Our heroes will not know whether to fight, defend or run faced with new zombie attacks. The show will again have sixteen episodes separated into two halves - the other one starting in February after a winter break. Let us check out some of the info that we've got so far on the Autumn run of the popular show.

  ZOMBIE TIDBITS

The events in the first episode, to air on October 13th at AMC titled "30 Days Without an Accident", are supposed to start some nine months after the last season finale in whichRick (Andrew Lincoln ) managed to chase the Governor (David Morrisey) away from prison and Woodbury.

  CROWDED PRISON 
Since they brought a large number of people from Woodbury with them, the prison will be much more crowded with survivors, but as you've seen in the season finale, those are mostly older people, women and little kids. Rick will have to find new help in Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) and his people. Some of the old characters will have to toughen up, like Carol (Melissa McBride), who will obviously replace Andrea in being the brave lady in the group. She will even be teaching a knife class!

EVOLVING ZOMBIES

With the new showrunner Scott M.Gimple, the events in the story will escalate, and as you can see in the trailer the prison will no longer seem as a safe place especially under the attack of new, much more unstoppable, swarms of zombies! The new season will see the undead undergoing a certain evolution and changes and becoming much more dangerous. To protect themselves from the walkers, the prison will have lots of security tricks and traps put around the premises and we shall also see a new, much stronger, gate at the entrance. This won't help them much since they will be faced with the attacks from the inside!

KARL AND DARYL  
Rick will have other worries too. Since we've seen little Carl (Chandler Riggs) turning into a dangerous sociopath Rick will have to straighten up his parental duties.  And he will have other people issues, since with the prison having a whole new community, there will be frictions between the characters. There will even be fights between Rick and good old Daryl (Norman Reedus)! Without his brute of a brother who became a delightful zombie, Daryl will continue with discovering his own self-worth and with taking responsibilities within the group.

MICHONNE ON A HORSE

Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Glenn (Steven Yeun) will continue with their romance giving a glimpse of warmth in the harsh zombie world. They will be faced with new doubts too in the new season. Meanwhile, Michonne (Danai Gurira) will find an uber cool new ride - she will be slaying zombies on top of a horse! One of the new characters will be Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard) a former army medic who will be discovered by Daryl! Meanwhile The Governer will only appear in the story again when we least expect him! Michonne will be on the mission to hunt him down!It has also been announced that David Goyer, MAN OF STEEL writer and DA VINCI'S DEMONS creator, will direct one of the episodes!
