Trivia

 * In October 2012, AMC announced a contest on the network’s website that gives a fan the chance to appear on set for season 4, without having officially approved a fourth season yet. This led many fans and news organizations to speculate that there will be a season 4. AMC released this statement in response: “The Walking Dead has not been renewed for a fourth season. There was no inadvertent pick-up of the series...Promotional sweepstakes give-aways which involve prospective future season visits or opportunities are common practice in television. The sweepstakes rules clearly state AMC may award a substitute prize if the future season opportunity is not available.”
 * In December 2012, Mike Riley, of Stalwart Films, stated about the city of Senoia, the stage set for Woodbury, that “It hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll be back here next year for season four.”
 * 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 announced that David Morrissey, who portrays The Governor, will return as a series regular for Season 4.
 * It has been confirmed that the "war" between Rick and his group and The Govenor will carry on into season 4.
