The Walking Dead has never been so alive!

It's been 3 years since the premier of AMC's, The Walking Dead, a horror drama based on a comic book series, written by a man named Robert Kirkman. It's the story of a small group of people who have (so far) survived a zombie apocalypse! They are working together to find a place in the world where they can live safely and somehow, try to regain life as human beings without always looking over their shoulders. Since October 31st, 2010, the show has sky rocketed in popularity as well as awards and by 2012, received 12.4 million viewers, making it the most viewed television series in history!

Season 3 left off with it's main character, Rick Grimes, (played by Andrew Lincoln) leading a group of survivors to an abandoned prison. There, they take shelter for the time being before they head back out into the world to find a better and safer place to live. Many people were lost along the way and the villain of the show, who they called the "Governor," is nowhere to be found after murdering his own people.

Season 4 will premier on October 13th, 2013 and will consist of 16 episodes. This already, has viewers talking! Here, at our little school in Bismarck, ND, even the University of Mary students are talking about the Walking Dead and what season 4 will bring us. Will more beloved characters be tragically lost? Will new ones be introduced so we can fall in love all over again? Will the characters we've been following find a home at last? No one knows but we are anxious to find out.

Even the people who haven't seen the show, have at least heard it's name. If you're one of those people, we recommend you take a peek at the season 4 premier and tell us what you think! Maybe you could even go back to the first episode of the first season just to take a look at how this widely spoken of series began. Who knows? You might just find it to be a new favorite.
