It’s only been 2 weeks since the last episode of The Talking Dead, but with the shooting date fast approaching there has been a surge in Walking Dead news. In the last few days we’ve got some official casting, some rumoured casting, and a big announcement from AMC. Jason and I sit down to run through the following items:

– Robert Kirkman delivers the keynote speech at the ComicsPRO annual members meeting.

– Rumor: Jonny Lee Miller is the front runner to play Rick Grimes.

– Jon Bernthal has been cast as Rick Grimes’ partner Shane.

– AMC officially orders 6 episodes of the show, and plans to air it in October during FearFest.
