New Zombie Drama For The CW

 The CW is currently developing a new drama series that deals with the popular theme of a zombie apocalypse.

 According to TV Guide, the network is working on producing Awakening, a script written by William Laurin and Glenn Davis, which follows two rival sisters as they struggle to survive in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse.

The CW is not the only network trying to cash in on the zombie fever, as NBC has bought the rights to produce a pilot based on the script Zombies Vs. Vampires.

 After the amazing success of AMC´s The Walking Dead, television networks have realized how zombies are the new vampires as far as ratings go, and the CW and NBC are no exceptions.

 Do you believe that this new zombie trend will last long? Let me know in the comments!

'Walking Dead' May Return in July

 Actor Bryan Cranston recently spoke to New York Magazine and stated how AMC is aiming for a summer return of two of its most popular shows, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.

 The summer premiere for new seasons of the hit shows may have something to do with avoiding heavy competition from other networks and attracting new viewership.

 "It was a decision from AMC that they wanted to position us in July... They want to attract as many eyeballs as possible, away from the heavy competition of the September, November [or] January start. I believe they're going to put Walking Dead in July as well."

 Just recently, Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has hinted that more characters from the original Comic-Book such as Michonne - a mysterious ex-lawyer who fights off the undead with a samurai sword -will likely make an appearance in  future episodes of the show.

 "[Showrunner] Frank [Darabont] has already hinted at the fact we'll be seeing Michonne as early as season two," he said.

So there you have it! Maybe the wait won't be as long as expected for you zombie fans out there after all.

Are you looking forward to season two of The Walking Dead?

'The Walking Dead' season finale breaks records in viewership

 Last night's season finale of AMC's The Walking Dead continued its ratings success, when over 6 million people tuned in to watch, making it the most watched episode of the series. Not only that but, according to Nielsen Media Research, the zombie series based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, has now become  the most watched drama series in basic cable history in viewers aged 18 to 49. That is a really big accomplishment, taking into account that the show is just getting started and its first season has only consisted on six episodes. Too bad fans of the show will have to wait an entire year for the series to return with a second season!

  Did you watch the season finale of The Walking Dead last night? Thoughts?

Laurie Holden discusses 'Walking Dead' renewal

 It was recently announced by AMC, that their hit series The Walking Dead was being renewed for a second season and will return for a 13-episode run, expected to air in October 2011.

 This left wondering many fans of the show, why did they have to wait so long to see the series return. Actress Laurie Holden discussed with Collider the extended break between seasons: "I wish that we were shooting sooner, but it's just the way that it is. It's just the reality. They've got to pen 13 scripts and get the production up and rolling, and that just takes time. I'm hoping that people love our show enough that they'll be patient, and it will be okay that we're not going to be back for another year."

 Holden also pointed out that this is not the first time a situation like this has happened: "I think this [sort of break] is common for a lot of shows. Lost went off the air for a while. Mad Men goes off the air for awhile. Maybe it's not too out of the norm."

 The actress also admitted how she was unsurprised that the show got picked so soon for a second season:
"The ratings were quite spectacular," Holden said. "I think that just based on the numbers alone, AMC was like, 'Okay, let’s run with it'."

 The six-part first season of The Walking Dead concludes on December 5 in the US. 

 Are you capable of waiting so long until the show returns with new episodes?

The Walking Dead graces the cover of EW

 The AMC hit series, The Walking Dead, becomes more and more successful with every passing every week and now it graces the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly which calls it "The Best New Show on TV". 

 Actor Andrew Lincoln talks about how he landed the role: “[After auditioning] I got an e-mail outlining the project … It said The Walking Dead. Terrific title … and then it said ‘Zombie survival horror.’ I think I actually did a literal double take. I was like, ‘Really?!’ I was a bit reticent. It was only the next day, when they sent me this top secret script, that it really dawned on me what the show had a chance to do, and I got very excited."
