Courtesy of Screen Rant comes the official cast photo for The Walking Dead’s third season.  Noticeable additions are Michonne (complete with samurai sword and zombie walker pets) and the Governor.  The second half of season two picked up considerably, and I’m very much looking forward to the prison, the town of Woodbury, and especially Michonne.

According to The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, the mid-season finale has wrapped and he tweeted a picture from the set.

Many blame the disjointed start of season two to the departure of series creator/show runner Frank Darabont, who got into a rather public feud with the executives at AMC over funding and other creative decisions.

Apparently the 90-minute season premiere was actually put together from two completely different hour long episodes, one of which had an entirely different opening than what actually aired.   Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that the  the Blu Ray release of The Walking Dead Season Two will actually feature more of the unused footage along with commentary from new show runner Glen Mazarra.  [via Ain't It Cool News]
