The Third Season of “The Walking Dead“ is just over halfway done shooting and last night showrunner Robert Kirkman told Collider that we should be expecting a bigger scope this year. ““I think you might see a few more dollars on the screen in the third season. It’s gonna be bigger.”

The show, “tells the story of the weeks and months that follow a pandemic zombie apocalypse. County Sheriff Rick Grimes travels with his family and a small group of survivors, constantly in search of a safe and secure home. But the constant pressure of fighting off death on a daily basis takes a heavy toll, sending many to the lowest depths of human cruelty. As Rick struggles to keep his family alive, he will discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth.”

He went on to talk more about The Governor, Michonne and the prison location. More inside, including video.

Will Season 3 keep up the pace? “We got Merle coming back, we got the Governor, Michonne; all that stuff is known. I’m trying to think of some buzz words or something that I can slip in there that AMC won’t get too angry about. I think there is an escalation that began at the end of the second season and there’s not any kind of drop off. We kind of start off at that point and it gets a little bit bigger and a little bit crazier moving into the introduction of the Governor and all the new elements that are coming in this season.”
