In this latest edition of The BloodCast, host Ryan Turek calls in IGN’s Eric Goldman to sound off on the latest chapter in A&E’s Bates Motel.

Over the course of her 30-year career, producer Gale Anne Hurd has been involved with many fan favorite genre properties from Terminator to Marvel's Hulk and The Punisher, but few could have seen that only her second foray into television as executive producer of an AMC TV show - based on Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's zombie comic The Walking Dead - would overshadow some of her previous achievements as a producer.

This coming Sunday, March 31st, season three of the show will come to a close.  This season brought in popular comic characters like Michonne and The Governor while creating a season-long conflict between the inhabitants of the prison and those of Woodbury.

ShockTillYouDrop.com used this opportunity to get on the phone with Hurd for a quick interview, mostly to talk about things that have happened over the past two seasons since we last spoke.

The last episode of season 3 of The Walking Dead will air next week and we'll have to wait a few months to see what happens next.

Season 3 has been quite the rollar coaster, upping the ante from the previous seasons and adding even more zombie carnage than ever.

The final episode is titled "Welcome to the Tombs" and is described as: Rick and the group have to seriously consider if the prison is worth defending as the Governor's impending attack looms over their heads."

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c. Season 4 is set to begin production at the beginning of May.

Only two episodes remain in The Walking Dead season 3 and AMC has presented us with seven new photos from episode 15, entitled "This Sorrowful Life," the episode is described as follows:

"Rick and the group are faced with a serious problem. If they want a truce with the Governor, they will have to make a huge sacrifice."

Last night, AMC's mid-season three premiere of The Walking Dead returned with its largest audience ever in series history delivering 12.3 million viewers at the 9pm premiere.

The previous record was 10.9 million viewers from the season three premiere on October 14, 2012. The episode is also the strongest telecast for a series in basic cable history for adults 18-49 with 7.7 million. These results shatter the hit series' previous record with an increase of +6% (A18-49) over the October 14, 2012 season three premiere.

The Walking Dead season three series average for adults 18-49 delivers 6.8 million outperforming other television series season averages including "Modern Family," 'The Big Bang Theory," "Two and A Half Men," and "NCIS."

AMC has revealed this morning the latest preview for the second half of The Walking Dead season 3.

With his group in tatters, his sanity in question, and his own son questioning his every move, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) must somehow pull everyone together to face their greatest challenge -- the Governor (David Morrissey).  In order to survive, he must risk everything, including the group's very humanity. 

Season three's mid-season finale aired December 2, making "The Walking Dead" the first cable series in television history to reign as the biggest show of the fall season among Adults 18-49, beating out all broadcast and cable entertainment series. The episode totaled 15.2 million viewers for the night. 

The Walking Dead returns from hiatus in a few weeks with the remaining eight episodes of Season 3.

We've found a new trailer for the upcoming back-half with all new footage from the remainder of the season. Check it out inside!

With his group in tatters, his sanity in question, and his own son questioning his every move, Rick must somehow pull everyone together to face their greatest challenge -- the Governor.  In order to survive, he must risk everything, including the group's very humanity.

Over the holiday break, AMC revealed this new preview for the remaining half of The Walking Dead season 3.  The preview features new footage of the drama that will kick up between The Governor and Rick Grimes when the season resumes February 10th.  Also, new images, too!  Have a look inside...

The Walking Dead is now taking a break and AMC is doing everything it can to get you excited for the last half of season three.  Today, the network has released a five-minute featurette that finds the cast and crew commenting on what's to come.

"In the second half of the season, you realize Rick is this brutal, ruthless leader that is uncomprising," says Andrew "Rick Grimes" Lincoln.  "So when we meet the Governor, there is a match."

Oh, yes, "it's on," as showrunner Glenn Mazzara says.  The rest of the season picks up in February.  Head inside for the featurette!

Even though the next episode of The Walking Dead - entitled "The Suicide King" - does not air until February 2013, a new clip has surfaced via The Talking Dead.  Naturally, said clip has hit the web.

Here, we find Tyreese and his band of survivors contemplating what to do with themselves in Rick's prison (yes, I'll just call it Rick's prison for now).  One member of this group wants to take advantage of a moment to nab some weapons.  Tyreese isn't too keen on that.  Check out the clip inside.

The mid-season finale of The Walking Dead season 3 has come to an end.  Did it go out with the "bang" that you had hoped for?  We know Daryl and Merle were put in a tight spot.  How will they get out of it?  AMC has provided a look at episode nine, entitled "The Suicide King."  In the clip you'll find inside, Daryl and Merle are pit against each other.

In addition to the clip, we have a trailer for the rest of season 3 which resumes February 2013.

AMC has released a clip from The Walking Dead season 3, episode 8 which is being called "Made to Suffer."  That sounds upbeat, doesn't it?  

Hard to believe, but the mid-season finale arrives next Sunday, December 2nd, which means you'll have to wait until early next year for the rest of the season to play out.  How will Rick's rescue effort go?  Who will survive and who will fall?  This season has packed a few surprises and I'm sure the team behind the series isn't done pulling the punches just yet.

Head inside for a clip which finds Andrea and The Governor reflecting on the town of Woodbury.

We're nearing the halfway point of The Walking Dead's third season, then the show takes a break until next year.  Today, however, news has come down that this season is going to introduce a character that fans of the comic book will recognize and - because some folks are sensitive to spoilers - we've got the details inside.

"A wounded Michonne tries to blend in with walkers" - so says AMC's description for a preview clip culled from The Walking Dead's forthcoming seventh episode.  In the next entry, entitled "When the Dead Come Knocking," the governor seeks information and a new guest at the prison forces Rick's hand.  Check out the clip inside!

This season of AMC's The Walking Dead has been fairly pivotal in the way it's been introducing elements from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's popular comics, for instance, bringing the group of survivors to a large maximum security prison and also introducing the Governor, played by David Morrissey, the counterpart to Andrew Lincoln's Rick over at another community known as Woodbury. (And if you aren't caught up on the the show or haven't read the comics, we'll advise you not read this piece in order to avoid spoilers for the third season so far.)

Anyone who's read the comics knows that the Governor has far more nefarious plans for the "walkers" (or "biters" as the folks at Woodbury likes to call them) and working with the Governor to achieve his yet-to-be-revealed goal is a scientist named Milton, played by Dallas Roberts, another element that hasn't appeared in the comics. We first met Milton in the fourth episode of the season, "Walk with Me," and in the most recent episode "Say the Word," we saw Milton tangling with a "walker" out in the field and showing distaste for Woodbury's choice in recreational pastimes.

AMC has previewed next weekend's episode of The Walking Dead season 3, "Hounded," with a clip which you'll find inside.  AMC's description?  "Rick returns to check on the group."  Okay, we'll take it.  As we saw in tonight's episode, Rick's been on a bit of zombie-killing spree so it'll be good to get him back with some familiar faces.  "Hounded" airs Sunday, November 18th.

Before we look ahead at the fifth episode of The Walking Dead season 3, can we just comment on last night's chapter (episode four, "The Killer Within") by saying...  Holy crap!  Can you believe what they did?!  This season is one tough mother and really isn't pulling any punches.  What do you think?  Use our comment boards below to sound off.

Moving along, a clip from episode five, "Say the Word," can be found inside.  In this installment, Rick struggles after another loss and Michonne is suspicious of the Governor.  The clip finds Axel and Oscar try to comfort a grieving Glenn.

In the wake of tonight's bloody episode of The Walking Dead season 3, AMC has released a teaser clip for episode 3, "Walk With Me."  After witnessing an accident, Andrea and Michonne are introduced to a new community of survivors. As conflicts arise with their new acquaintances, a decision must be made.  In the clip you'll find inside, Andrea and Michonne find a plume of smoke on the horizon.

Last night, season three of The Walking Dead made its premiere and - no surprise - it feasted on some pretty huge ratings.

According to an AMC press release, it was "the biggest show of the fall season among Adults 18-49."  Also, "the 9pm ET premiere garnered 10.9 million viewers and a 7.4 HH rating making it the highest rated episode in series history, and growing more than 50% over last season's premiere. The season 3 premiere now reigns as the biggest telecast for any drama series in basic cable history among all viewers. "The Walking Dead" encored at 10pm with 3.5 million viewers and midnight with 850,000 viewers delivering 15.2 million viewers for the night. In addition, the season two premiere of "Talking Dead" at 11pm attracted 2.1 million viewers, growing 85% over the season one premiere."

AMC has released a clip from the premiere of The Walking Dead season 3 which airs this Sunday, October 14th.  This sneak peek comes shortly after the title sequence (which has been changed this season) and finds Rick and the other survivors trying to strategize their next plan of attack while out on the open road.

Having seen the first two episodes of this season, I have to say, the show is getting off on the right foot.  And it appears the creative team is responding to the fan reaction from last year that said "nothing happened" in the first half of season 2.

Check out the clip inside.

Shock Till You Drop hit the red carpet premiere of The Walking Dead season 3 last night at the Universal CityWalk (near Universal Studios Hollywood) and we had a chance to speak with the cast and crew about what we can expect when the season kicks off on AMC October 14th.

This writer had a chance to catch the first two episodes of season 3 and I can say that it starts out very strong and very bloody.  Episode one alone has the most zombie-killing action we've ever seen on he show and Rick's continued transformation is great.  Picking up many months after season 2, the series opener finds Rick and the other survivors discovering the prison hinted at in the last season, meanwhile, Michonne (the samurai sword-wielding stranger) and Andrea struggle to survive on their own in the woods.

Here are some of the highlights from the red carpet which include the producers teasing us about what's to come during the mid-season finale, Chandler Riggs on his newfound Internet meme popularity, the major increase in zombie action and more.

ShockTillYouDrop.com has been provided with over 50 photos from The Walking Dead season 3 featuring images from episodes 1 - 8.

The third season of the hit AMC series begins October 14th with the episode entitled "Seed."  

In the highly anticipated new season, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his fellow survivors continue to seek refuge in a desolate and post-apocalyptic world and soon discover that there are greater forces to fear than just the walking dead. The struggle to survive has never been so perilous.

TV's most popular zombie show will be back on the air very soon and the cast of The Walking Dead have an exclusive look at the brand new season for you below. We will preface this video with a spoiler warning if you're not caught up on the show though.

AMC released the key art for The Walking Dead Season 3, debuting Sunday, October 14 at 9pm ET/PT.

AMC has released six new stills from The Walking Dead season 3.  The new batch of images focus on the living rather than the undead, head inside for a peek and look for new episodes to begin October 14th.

The season finale of Breaking Bad last night (which was incredible) was riddled with new promos for The Walking Dead season 3.  We have two to share with you, you'll find the other one after the jump.  The new season kicks off October 14th.

A TV spot for The Walking Dead's third season has made its debut at TV Line and you'll find it inside.  In the spot, which is super-brief, Rick Grimes carefully approaches a closed door with his gun drawn...what does he find inside?  The new season begins October 14th on AMC.

In addition to the slew of covers they'll be featuring this week, EW has quite a few character shots for the upcoming season of The Walking Dead.

Seen inside is Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne, and David Morrissey as The Governor.

Click here to see some more photos including several zombie transformations and shots from upcoming episodes.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9pm on AMC and will premiere its third season on October 14th.

Another look at the Governor, Michonne, Rick Grimes and Daryl and Merle Dixon in the upcoming season of The Walking Dead comes via Entertainment Weekly.  The magazine is giving the series a four-cover spread for those collectors out there.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) gets his own cover as does Michonne (Danai Gurira) with her "pets," the Governor (David Morrissey) and the Dixon brothers, including Merle with his new spear hand (Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker).

Series creator Robert Kirkman tells EW: "This season really is about setting up these two worlds and watching them come to a head and collide.  And you know that there are going to be some pretty explosive encounters between Rick and the Governor. This season is going to be about getting to know these two characters, and then waiting for their eventual confrontation that could destroy everything.”

Head inside for a look at all four covers.

Dallas Roberts - who co-starred in this year's The Grey and will soon be seen in Shadow People and The Factory - is going to appear in The Walking Dead season 3, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Series creator Robert Kirkman explains Roberts will play "Milton," a new character in the Walking Dead mythology.

“Milton is the details guy,” Kirkman told EW. “He’s the guy that works with the Governor, who is monitoring all situations and is trying to help the Governor make sense of this world that they’re living in. He’s not exactly a scientist, but he’s a smart guy that is trying to find out how zombies behave. Watching him do his little experiments is going to be a lot of fun.”

Much like last season, AMC has determined the best strategy to roll out The Walking Dead season 3 is to break it in half.

The 16-episode run will kick off on October 14th and run for eight episodes before taking a brief break then resuming the rest of the season in early 2013.

Series creator Robert Kirkman tweeted today that work officially wrapped on the mid-season finale.  I wonder what kind of "cliffhanger" they have in store this time.

AMC has released two new "walker" photos from The Walking Dead season 3 and, man oh man, is KNB EFX killing it with the zombie make-up.  New episodes kick off on October 14th, head inside for a pair of rather cool pics...

A little bit of "TV Round-up" for ya...  Showtime has released what appears to be a sliver of a much larger poster for Dexter season seven which will be revealed at a later time.  And a cast shot from The Walking Dead season three - previously seen in super low-res - hit the web this morning.  Head inside for a look at both images...

At tonight's Saturn Awards, Shock managed to speak with "The Walking Dead" comic creator Robert Kirkman (who was carrying around a tequila bottle with a skull on it) who told us what he's most excited for in season three.

"I can say that I'm completely in denial when I see Danai [Gurira] walk out on set and jump off the page," he says, "As badass as she is in the comics, seeing her move and seeing her kill the zombies in motion is so much more intense that you can believe. Fans of the comics are going to love it. She's great."
