The Walking Dead Season 3 Photo And An Update From Robert Kirkman

Much like I expect the walker population continues to grow in Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead, so does the episode count of each season. The series started out with a six-episode first season, which was followed by a thirteen-episode second season. And coming this fall, we'll see the first eight episodes of what will go on to be a sixteen-episode third season. As of last week, production on the midseason finale has wrapped.

(Via MTV), Robert Kirkman Tweeted the following:

We wrapped on the mid-season finale of @walkingdead_amc a few hours ago. Amazing work from all involved, this Georgia crew kicks ass!

Kirkman also shared the following photo, which gives us a look at the Woodbury welcome center.



It seems like a welcoming sight, but from what I've heard about Woodbury, the small community of people who live there may not be the most hospitable to Rick and his people. Are they scarier than walkers though? I suppose we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, it's exciting to learn that the first half of Season 3 midseason finale has wrapped.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC with new episodes October 14. Those looking for a way to pass the time between now and then might check out the Walking Dead Facebook game.
