New Details For The Walking Dead Season 3

     The highly anticipated 3rd season of The Walking Dead hits television screens this October and Entertainment Weekly has new details on the show!  The entire landscape has fallen to zombies,” says Mazzara of the start of season 3. “The entire world has collapsed, the apocalypse has taken over, the zombies have taken over, there’s no safe place. And I think in the past our characters thought they could find some safe harbor, and now there’s just no good hiding place at all.”
Wow. That sounds like a major bummer. Will a certain prison turn into their salvation? And what can we expect of the katana-sword wielding Michonne? “Just like in the comic books, she is a badass and she hates the walkers more than anything else,” Mazzara says. “She treats them with contempt. What’s interesting about the version of this character is she has a lot of trouble fitting into human society. She’s probably better off staying out there alone with the walkers. She’ll be very interesting and a complicated character to bring into the fold, if we even do that. She gives us a lot to play with.”    
     As for The Governor, the suave David Morrissey may seem like an odd choice to play the rough and tumble villain, but Mazzara is confident the British actor can deliver the goods. “David is an incredibly talented actor with a lot of magnetism,” says Mazzara, “and we need somebody who can serve as the foundation, the pillar, for an entire storyline, an entire world of Woodbury. David has the strength to do that. I also think that David’s approach to the character was spot on. He understands that this is an interesting, complex, multilayered, dark figure, and he’s very interested in playing that.”
