  • The Walking Dead Season Four Webisodes Are Now Live on AMC, YouTube

    While millions mourn the passing of Walter White’s critically acclaimed vehicle, there’s a ray of sunshine breaking through the cloud of no more Breaking Bad known as The Walking Dead. Instead of immediately filling the void caused by the end of Breaking Bad, AMC is giving viewers a couple of weeks to mourn their loss. That being said, the wheels of promotion stop for nothing, and with one more Sunday to sit through until The Walking Dead returns on October 13, which is plenty of time to increase the velocity of the anticipation train. To help facilitate this, AMC has released a collection of The Walking Dead webisodes that were created with the intent of getting you in the mood for the return of Rick Grimes and his band of zombie killers.

    As you might expect, these mini-movies focus on characters who don’t appear in the television show, which gives AMC the opportunity to tell more stories from The Walking Dead universe. This season’s made-for-the-web series is a three-parter focusing on two lone survivors who are trying to find an aid station. The episodes were directed by Greg Nicotero, who offers these thoughts over at the AMC blog:

    “The webisodes give us a unique opportunity to see other parts of the ravaged world of The Walking Dead while weaving in and out of our show. The crossover between The Oath and The Walking Dead ties in one of the most iconic images from the series, and gives us insights and history to yet another timeline. I had worked with Ashley [Bell] on The Last Exorcism and brought in Wyatt [Russell] and Ellen [Greene], who rounded out the brilliant cast perfectly”.

    All of the episodes have been posted by AMC on their website and on their YouTube page, and we have them for your enjoyment:

  • The Walking Dead Webisodes To Launch Before Season 2 Premiere

    AMC’s hit zombie series The Walking Dead returns in October and I must say that I’m pretty excited. “Pretty,” because a.) I wasn’t too thrilled with the way the first season ended, although I understand that it was a shortened season and they had to make do, and b.) I’m way too enthralled in the final episodes of Breaking Bad to even think about another TV show right now.

    But as soon as Breaking Bad wraps up for the season, I’ll be all-the-way thrilled. Zombie survival scenarios just continue to amuse me, no matter how many I watch or read.

    If you are a big Walking Dead fan, you’ll be happy to know that AMC has produced a series of webisodes set to launch two weeks before the season 2 premiere.

    According to AMC, the webisodes will tell the story of Hannah, the poor, crawling half-zombie that Rick kills out of pity at the end of the pilot episode. From their blog –

    The webisodes will give fans the opportunity to explore the back story of Hannah (Lilli Birdsell), better known as “Bicycle Girl,” the infamous zombie from Season 1, who was shot by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in the pilot episode and who is one of the most celebrated “walkers” from last season. Fans will learn about Hannah’s life before the apocalypse, her struggle to survive and protect her family as the world begins to fall apart, and her ultimate demise into zombie-hood.

    The web series will consists of 6 episodes that will all be available at the same time. They will launch on October 3rd at 2 pm EST.

    To get you excited, here’s the latest trailer for the upcoming season 2 –

    And just for fun, here’s one of the best scenes from season 1. You know how to fool a zombie, right? If you don’t, you’ll know after this (gross as hell) clip –

    Season 2 will debut on October 16th at 9 pm EST with a 90-minute episode. Unfortunately, it will be split up into two parts – 6 more episodes following the premiere and then a break, followed by 6 episodes beginning on February 12th.
