Here was Kirkman’s response:

Now that season three of The Walking Dead has ended, what does creator/executive producer Robert Kirkman have in store for the next season? According to Kirkman, a lot of elements will carry over from season three to season four, but he “can’t stress how different things are going to be.”

In breaking news, The Walking Dead ownership lawsuit, in which Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore’s have battled over the ownership and royalties of the franchise, was settled out of court on Monday. The statement pretty much says that they’ve settled their lawsuits and are going on with their lives.

Just in case one Walking Dead game wasn’t enough for the world, Activision has recently announced that they are partnering with Robert Kirkman to create a new Walking Dead game for fans of the series. This is not to be confused with the episodic adventure game that Telltale Studio’s released back in April, but an entirely new game being developed by Terminal Reality. In what the studio is describing as a first person shooter with survival horror elements, the story is set to take place, not within the context of the comic universe, but as a prequel to the AMC TV series.

Remember that one part during the second season finale of The Walking Dead? No, not the appearance of Michonne, thrilling as it was. It was the final shot of the prison that made everyone gasp and freakout with anticipation for season three (though Michonne did play a huge part in that, admittedly.) Now, exclusive photos from Entertainment Weekly have debuted online, giving fans a look at parts of the prison and some of its zombie inhabitants. The photos tease a fight between part of the group and a few welcoming undead inmates, as well as a faceoff between Maggie and an approaching walker.
Executive producer Glen Mazzara upped the anticipation even more with what they had to say about the new prison setting.
“I’m incredibly proud of the prison,” says Mazzara. “I think our crew has done a great job. It’s a huge sense of scale and magnitude I haven’t seen on any other show as far as construction. What’s important to us is the prison itself is now a character in the show. It’s a haunted house, it’s scary, it’s frightening, and there are parts of the prison that are always terrifying, that are always inaccessible to our group. It’s not necessarily the blessing that the prison in the comic book turned out to be.”
