 * The writing of the fourth season started in February 2013, as stated by Glen Mazzara in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
 * Greg Nicotero stated that Season 4 would focus more on character development and less on "the run and gun": "The walkers and the gore and the action and stuff, that’s fun, that’s the popcorn part of it. But if you don’t have characters that people are invested in, you lose your audience."

 * It has been confirmed that the "war" between Rick and his group and The Governor will carry on into Season 4.
