Glen Mazzara, the showrunner for The Walking Dead, held a conference
call for media members and had a lot to say about the next two seasons
of the show, including the mention of another fan favorite, Tyrese.
"Right now, I do see the prison storyline lasting through both Season 3 and 4.
I do think that is a major storyline. I know we were on the farm,
perhaps, longer than people wanted. There were reasons for that. What we
want is for that prison to not feel claustrophobic. I think the farm
played a little claustrophobic for some people. Now that the entire
landscape has fallen victim to the zombie apocalypse, zombies are
literally at the gates of this prison. That prison is a very small safe
corner. There is a lot of danger around. It won't feel like we are
bottled up, the way we were on the farm. I do think that prison is a
significant storyline, but we are also interested in opening up this
world. The Governor has the world of Woodbury. There are other
factors out there, other groups. I do think that Rick's group is
stumbling into a much larger world."
"There is a lot of great material from the comic book. This show
would have to go on for twenty years to get to all of it. I think the
Tyrese character is someone we are interested in introducing at some
point. We still have Morgan and Dwayne, who are out there from the
pilot. We are interested in them. There are new characters that will
be original too the series. Not coming straight from the comic book. I
think the first two seasons have served as a prologue. Now we are
hitting the ground running. I see Season 3 resetting the show in terms
of what I really hope to convey." The Walking Dead returns to television in October!
