In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Frank Darabont revealed part of his plans for the second season of The Walking Dead.
“When we get to season two – knock on wood – it will obviously be expanded from six episodes to thirteen. I’m hoping that we might actually be able to shoot part of it in that kind of environment. It would be great not just to get out of the heat, but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter. There’s some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that’s frozen to the ground. I’d never seen that before and that’s really cool.”
Frank goes on to speak about his plans for Michonne and the possibility that she will be appearing in Season 2.
“Or when Michonne shows up – and boy, is she a character I can’t wait to get to – when she comes striding out of the wasteland like a Clint Eastwood fucking spaghetti western character cross-melded with some samurai movie, like the Baby Cart character with the fucking sword, and there’s just a little drift of snow in the air. I would love to put that on film! [Laughs] So, maybe. Who knows. It just kind of depends on what a production year would be like, but man, I would love to do that. And it does snow down there. I’ve been in Georgia when it snows. I wouldn’t mind that at all. That would be great.”
It’s important to note that Michonne does not show up in the comic book until much later in the series. She arrives while the group is already at the prison and it happens during the spring time.
