It's that time. More on the upcoming fourth season of "The Walking Dead." Diehard fans have remained diligent, cherishing any little detail they can extract from cast photos, tweets, behind-the-scene videos and interviews with the head honchos. Executive Producer Robert Kirkman has been overly generous in the past couple months approaching the new season and in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he answers even more of fans burning questions.
There are many changes on the horizon for season 4. Scott Gimple is the third showrunner in four season to take the reins and he claims he will take a more character-focused approach to telling the story established in Kirkman's comics. Kirman says that with Gimple's approach, the show will focus more on characters but won't fail to include the scare-you-to-death moments that make the show what it is.
"Coming into season four, we're definitely going to know a lot more about these people so it will be that much more gut-wrenching and worse when we lose these characters," Kirkman said during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "Season four probably has the most number of scenes that are adapted directly from the comic series or very close to what we did. A good deal of that is from Scott and the way he views that material and puts forth that extra effort to work it into the show in a way that it all works."
Kirkman added that season four will pick up with four central characters that fans have grown to know and love, but that throughout the season they will change and grow in extremely dramatic ways due to growing strains the world puts upon them. And how will they respond in the wake of Andrea and Merle's death?
"A lot of those deaths and those actions from season three have direct results on where we pick up things up in season four," he said. "We'll see there was a plan involved and these things do lead to other things, which in turn, makes them worthwhile."
"The Walking Dead" will return to AMC October 13..
