The Walking Dead: Season Two, But Not Yet!

A few days ago, word broke that Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston told New York Magazine that Season two of The Walking Dead would premiere this month, not in October, as originally announced:

"And I believe they're going to put Walking Dead in July as well. I think it's just a sensible thing — they want to attract as many eyeballs as possible, away from the heavy competition of the September, November, January start."

Exciting, right? New Walking Dead any day now!

Settle, settle--it's not happening. I asked someone at AMC, and the response I received was simple:

"The Walking Dead will premiere around Halloween. It is not premiering now."

So there. Makes sense, considering that the season two promotion machine did not rumble into motion until tonight, with the release of this teaser trailer:



It's more stylized than I'd expect, but it does what it's supposed to do: let you know that a new season of The Walking Dead is right around the corner. Excited?
