Well anyone who’s been watching The Walking Dead knows that the days of wine and roses aren’t coming any time, especially in the wake of the events of the mid-season finale.

On Sunday, October 16 at 10pm, the highly anticipated second season of The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC.
To add to the excitement fans have for the 13–episode second season, AMC has also announced that the premiere episode will run 90 minutes in length, much like the pilot episode did last Halloween when the show first began.
Now the only question that remains—after showrunner Frank Darabont was supposedly fired, for which AMC has faced a ton of backlash—is if the same large following will continue to watch the show, or if some fans will have shunned it.
