Spoiler voraus! Am letzten Sonntag sendete AMC das The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale (an diesem Freitag im FOX Channel) und solltet Ihr das noch nicht gesehen haben, bitte, lest nicht weiter. Denn hier ist alles voller Spoiler. AMC hat ein The Walking Dead Cast Look Ahead Season 3 Video veröffentlicht und Robert Kirkman teast erste Details zu Season 3 in einem TV Line Interview.

Nochmal die Warnung: Vorsicht Spoiler! Bereit weiter zu lesen? Okay. Na gut:

Was wissen wir bisher: Nach Atlanta und Hershel’s Farm wird der Handlungsort von Season 3 das Gefängnis sein. Ähnlich wie in den Comics (hier ein Vergleich: TV-Serie / Comic staffel 1 bis 3, Vorsicht: Derbe Spoiler!). Special FX Make Up Artist und Regisseur der Webisoden Greg Nicotero meint, daß auch die neue Staffel in weitestems Sinne auf der Storyline des Comicbandes basierend wird. Mit einigen Ausnahmen, die widerum verdammt große Auswirkungen haben werden.

Was wissen wir noch? Die Ära des The Governor ist angebrochen, der in den Comics ein richtig fieses Schwein ist, Leader einer anderen Gruppe der sich Zombies als Haustiere hält. Ebenso steht ein Wiedersehen mit Daryls (Norman Reedus) Bruder Merle (Michael Rooker) an, von dem wir bislang nur wissen, daß er seit dem Fiasko auf der Dachterrasse (in Atlanta) mit nur noch einer Hand unterwegs ist. Ich hatte das schon an anderer Stelle gepostet. Im Netz kursiert derzeit das hartnäckige Gerücht, Merle könnte der Anführer von jener Gruppe sein zu der auch Randall gehörte und die Hershel, Rick und Glenn bei Hershel’s Sauftour durch die hiesigen Kneipen “kennen gelernt” haben.

Außerdem wird Michonne mit von der Zombie-Party sein. Wie ich mir hab sagen lassen (danke René): Ein Fan Favorite aus den Comics, deren TV-Ego sich nur unwesentlich von Ihrem Bilderband-Ego unterscheiden soll, laut Rob Kirkman.

Soviel dazu. Mit den Dreharbeiten soll bereits im nächsten Monat begonnen werden. Der Start der 16 neuen Episoden steht dann irgendwann im Herbst 2012 in den USA/Deutschland an.

Und hier Snippets, aus einem Interview von Robert Kirkman mit TV-Line:

Über The Walking Dead season 3:

What I really like about the transition from Season 2 to Season 3 as opposed to Season 1 to Season 2 transition is that when we were moving into Season 2 there were so many unknowns. All of the questions were, “Are we going to see the farm? Are they going to follow the comic?” And now that we’re moving into Season 3, we’ve seen Michonne. We’ve seen the prison. We know that that the Governor has been cast. So the fans really have a clear indication of what kind of things to expect in the third season and where we’re going and some of the stories that we may be telling if they’re familiar with the comic book series.

Our third season is definitely going to be our best season yet. I’m really excited to get into it. It’s actually hard for me to do interviews about Season 2 because I’m like, “Oh my God, Season 3 blows this stuff out of the water. You just wait.” We’ve been working on Season 3 for a few months now. We’re wrapping up the first half and we’ve got everything nailed down. I can’t wait for people to see it.

There are still some surprises around the corner. We wouldn’t be revealing so much in our final episode of Season 2 if we didn’t have so much more to reveal in the marketing for Season 3 and also in the episodes when the season begins. There are a lot of surprises around the corner.

Über Rick:

He’s forced into this leadership role and, at the end of the episode, we see that he is taking this on and it is affecting him. And he’s growing darker. And he is saying, “Hey, you want me to be the leader? That’s fine. I’m going to be the leader. You don’t like it? Fend for yourself. Let’s see how you do.” He’s growing harsher in this world. And the series is always going to be about whether or not he can retain his humanity, or whether or not he is going to become some kind of hardened monster that really exists only to provide survival for him and his family.

Über Michonne: Der Plan war immer, sich Michonne für Staffel 3 aufzubewahren, und sie erst dann einzuführen:

…as far as her relationship with Andrea goes, she cut the head off of a zombie. She could easily stab Andrea next in the first minutes of Season 3, so who knows what that relationship will be like? She will be very similar to her comic-book counterpart. Most of the characters as they’ve been translated into TV are pretty much exactly the same character. Andrea is Andrea, Rick is Rick and Michonne is going to be Michonne. Now, the stories that we’re going to tell with her are going to be somewhat different at times. But the fans have expectations for Michonne, and I can say with full knowledge that their expectations are going to be met. They need not worry.

Über Andrea:

She is for all intents and purposes in the most danger out of anyone in the group by the end of the episode. And we’re going to be exploring that a little bit more in the third season. But really just putting her in the pressure-cooker situation and seeing how she fares and how she’s going to do and how she’s going to survive is going to be interesting thing to follow in the third season. We have some really cool stuff planned for Andrea.

Über Hershel und die Greene’s:

Hershel was very connected to the farm, and losing the farm and losing these people at the same time is going to mean a lot for him — as well as Maggie and Beth — in Season 3.

Wer wird als nächstes Sterben?

One of the things that’s always been important to me with the Walking Dead comic book series is that you always be willing to get rid of every character at any moment if it serves the story. I’ve always tried not to grow any kind of attachment to any character. And also, there have been times where I’ve had big arcs plotted out for [someone] but at the moment it seemed like the right thing to do to completely get rid of the character. And now that we’re getting further and further into the show, and we’re able to tell the stories [with] high stakes, pretty much everything is on the table when we sit there in the writers room. There’s some pretty terrifying, crazy things discussed. And every character, at some point, we’ve talked about, “Now? Later? When are we going to do this?”

We’re moving on:
