AMC has greenlit
The Walking Dead for a second season. This is
good news in general, but also good news in particular since the first
episode of the first season hasn't aired yet, and won't until October 31st. It's obviously a vote of confidence by the channel of the show's quality and likely success -- not a sure sign that
Walking Dead will be awesome, but about as close as you can get in TV. Although the first season will be 6 episodes, the second has been upped to 13; happily, there's obviously plenty of source material for the show to work with. (
