After a debut that garnered AMC’s highest-ever ratings for a pilot, The Walking Dead has only grown more popular over the past couple of years. The midseason finale on December 2 drew 10.5 million viewers, solidifying its position as one of television’s best-performing series. So it’s no surprise at all that the cable network is pressing forward with Season 4, as officially announced today.
The news does come with a huge catch, however. Glen Mazzara, who’s served as showrunner since Frank Darabont left after Season 1, is stepping down himself after Season 3. A new showrunner for the fourth season has not been named. More details after the jump.

If there’s one shade I associate with AMC’s The Walking Dead, it’s red — as in the color of all that stomach-turning blood and gore. But perhaps that’s only because I haven’t read Robert Kirkman‘s comic, which is illustrated in stark black and white. And starting in February, older episodes of the series will be presented the same way. Get ready to revisit the early days of the zombie apocalypse, only this time without color. More info after the jump.

In a surprise twist worthy of a Scandinavian crime drama, The Killing is coming back to AMC for a third season after all. The cable channel announced over the summer that it’d be axing the mystery series after two seasons. Then Netflix stepped up to possibly revive the show, and revive it it has — but on AMC, not Netflix. The streaming service is chipping in for the licensing cost, and The Killing is now on track to return for a third season in May 2013. More details after the jump.
