Season 3 (TV Series)

On October 25, 2011, The Walking Dead (TV Series) was renewed for a third season by AMC after Season 2 premiere broke cable ratings records in the 18–49 demographic. Season 3 picks up in the spring with Rick and his group finding the prison. It will also introduce The Governor and his town, Woodbury. This season will feature the introduction of The Governor and Michonne, plus the return of Daryl's brother, Merle.

"Seed"
the group attempts to secure a new home.

"Sick"
Prisoners came in like a bunch of bitches and the gang was like we gotta go. And they totally left Hersey's leg then the opening started. Then they played that preview for gay ass Comic Book Men. I like Kevin Smith and all, but I don't need that weak ass pretensious shit. Oh it's back on. Hersh still doesn't have that leg. If I was him, I'd shove a table leg into that shit. Then Darrell held up a cross bow on some pussy prisoners and Axel was like "Maybe we should get on going here." and Rick was like "Carl go back into the house. Oh we don't have that anymore." the prisoners were here for like 294 days and they just learned the world is zombie fucked. And Axel was like "For real?" now they're out in the sun and they are happy as shit but sad everybody died. And Axel was like "What do you mean disease? Like AIDS and shit?" Now they're fighting over the prison. Come on guys. It's big enough for two fucking gangs. But they traded a spot in the prison for guns. This episode is brought to you by Hyundai. Those are some dope cars. Now the Silent Hill trailer is on. Pyramid Head is a hard fuck. Hersey Cookies and Cream is losing mad blood and Lori is just looking like a pussy just as usual. I can't say that. This is the first Walking Dead I saw in a year. Bread crumbs. The prisoners also gave food for guns and Rick found their shit closet. then the remote switched to house and I was wicked pissed. Glenn got old as fuck in 2 years. Fucking bitches changes you. Now Maggi is saying Hershey Pennsylvania is gonna die. I believe it. But it'll be all good because he'll be alive as a zombie and the gang can have their bro back. But Rick is like "Kill that fucker." And Lori doesn't think he can do it. Judgmental cunt. Now the gang is explaining how to kill zombies to the prisoners and they gave like 3 fucks. They're zombies dumb asses. Now Maggi and Hershey Park located in Hershey Pennsylvania are alone and he is totes dying. She then kisses him which is hot shit and she fell asleep on him which dangerous shit. Then I took a piss during commercial, don't worry guys I'll only take breaks during that shit. Or scenes with just Lori. Fucking boring crying pussy. Now the gang and prisoners saw the zombies and the prisoners made like no attempt at the head. Carl is a cowboy. He also got old and found peroxide for Hertz automotive and Lori was a bitch about it but Beth knew Carl did good. Or well. Or fuck who gives a shit. Good work Beth. The prisoners got a little better at fucking up the zombies. Then the Hispanic guy shot a gun sideways and the black prisoner got bit. Figures. The black guy is all pissed they wanna kill him and the prisoners agree except Latino asshole. He made skull pudding. God damn Comic Book Men ruining my Walking Dead. Now Glenn and Carol are practicing C Section on a Walker. Now the gang is gonna open up a door of Zombie dick town. The latino guy almost murdered Rick while swinging his pick axe. Rick said he's cool but was not at all. Then he machete the fucker and Darrell was gonna kill one of the other bitches. Meanwhile Rick chases some pussy out of the prison and locks him with some zombies. Rick grew some testees. I swear to God if Hersh doesn't zombify I'll be pissed but he didn't and decided to startle the guys. Funny shit Hershey. Life of Pi looks weird by the way bros. guys you can win the Hyundai Andrea and Shane boned in. Dope shit guys. What what? Now Rick wants to kill everyone. And Axel is just crying like a little vagina. But the other dude is a fucking man about it. So Rick let's them live. Kind of, he ditches them in a different cell block but it seems safe. Now they're watching Hersh die and Carl looks stone cold. Now Rick decides to be a human and unhand cuff the guy. Inconvenient humanity. Carol is still working on this walker and I got to see some mad zombie puss. Now she's cutting that shit open. Oh shit, Laurie time. Pee time fuckers. Rick don't got emotion anymore. The End.

Development history
On January 14, 2012 it was announced from the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, California that AMC's third season of The Walking Dead (TV Series) will consist of 16 episodes. AMC's international broadcast partner FOX International Channels (FIC) will follow the 16 episode order and structure a similar schedule worldwide.

On February 24, 2012, it was announced that David Morrissey had been cast as The Governor, a major antagonist in the comic series. Morrissey will be a main cast member in the third season, which begins production in the first quarter of 2012.

On March 17, 2012 it was announced that Michael Rooker (Merle Dixon) will appear in the third season. His role in the series is currently unknown.

On March 20, 2012 Glen Mazzara tweeted that the prison is being built especially for the series.

Danai Gurira has been cast as Michonne.

As of April 4, 2012, there is a general outline for season 3, but there are no scripts yet.

Senoia, Georgia
The Walking Dead cast is scheduled to begin shooting small town of Senoia, Coweta County, Georgia in May 2012 and construction of sets began in February 2012, involving 60 local carpenters. Scott Tigchelaar of Raleigh Studios Atlanta says people can expect to see the town a little dirtier than normal to fit the look of the show.

On April 2, 2012 Mike Riley and Seth Zimmerman of AMC Television attended a Senoia City Council meeting — telling the council that the film series will be shooting in Senoia throughout 2012 and possibly in 2013, too. In the series, the town will be a place cordoned off from the zombie infested world outside. “You’re in a safe environment, If you’re outside it, you’re not,” Riley said. He said the town will be governed by “a benevolent dictator.”

The television crew will “build a temporary, movable perimeter wall." Portions of Travis and Main streets will be closed to traffic at times during scenes that show the wall.

“It will look like a gate” made from “various paraphernalia — old tires, doors,” Riley said. The wall will be made so that is can be stored between episodes.

The block from Travis Street to Seavy Street “right now is being considered as our main set,” Riley said. An area of Johnson Street may also be used. Some episodes may be almost entirely filmed in Senoia, and it is possible one or more episode might not be filmed in the town at all.

Cast and crew will arrive in Senoia on May 31 to film “the episode that premiers the town,” Riley said, “Once the town is established, it becomes a recurring location for us.”

“Walking Dead” has its principal set at Raleigh-Riverwood studio in Senoia.

For the first episode, “we’ll be filming in Senoia, for eight days,” Riley said. “We may be doing some filming at night in that episode. We may be filming at night for some of the other episodes, as well.”

Most filming will be done on weekdays.

Riley said grass would need to be left uncut in certain areas at times and said signs would be placed to let local residents know why the grass was high. He also said “anything we do to the buildings — anything we do to Senoia” will be put back in “as good or better shape when we pull out at the end of the season.”

Senoia has been a site for filmmakers including “Fried Green Tomatoes,” “Pet Sematary 2” and television series including Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.” Riley said the “Walking Dead” season of shooting will be different from what the town has experienced with previous productions. “This is long-term,” he explained. “You’re used to having a film crew come in and shoot for week or two, and then they’re gone.”
