Alright calm down, relax, start breathing! We think that a second season to THE WALKING DEAD will happen but today we learn that it has just not been nailed down so-to-speak. Trust us when we say this, this show has a ton going for it and it hasn't even premiered. Unless this is a huge failure of a project you can bet a sweet zombie shotgun blast to the skull that a second season will be a go...

Follow up:

Apparently when the news hit the show’s producer and the pilot’s writer/director Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) that a second season was scheduled for February 2011 he told AICN that there is no such official order from AMC, and that if he had to get right back to work on the show by February I'd “rather shoot myself”.

We appreciate his candor and it does appear that the myth that the show was picked up for another season before seeing real results was just that, a myth. However when the show debuts on Halloween and runs for 6 episodes we have a feeling the horror community will be ready for more. From what we've heard the whole country maybe in a zombie uproar so don't go freaking out yet Bidites. In time we fully expect a real announcement for season 2!
