With June a day away, some new information regarding Season 2 is starting to roll in.
tvline.com has reported that Hershel, Maggie, and Otis will make an appearance.
According to some just-released casting intel, Hershel himself is a vet — as in a veterinarian, not a veteran (that I know of!) — a Wilford Brimley type, though I don’t think a mustache of legendary proportions is mandatory for auditioning actors. His daughter, Maggie, sounds like a younger version of Andrea with better horseback-riding skills. (Ginger Snaps’ Katharine Isabelle, call your agent!) Finally, there’s Otis, the middle-aged ranch foreman who’s such a sweetheart that he all but loses it when he accidentally shoots a fellow survivor.
Gale Anne Hurd has tweeted
Back in Atlanta now – after 16 hours of traveling. Excited to get started on Season 2 of The Walking Dead in a week’s time.
I have found out that Peachtree City, Georgia is where they’re filming, although no exact locations have mentioned.

How would I go about being casted for this show??!?
Hey Brendan, not sure how you would get casted for a role. Although if you’re interested in being a extra, here is the email to contact them.

[...] Rumor has it filming will be in or around Peachtree City, Georgia, however we’re unable to confirm this for sure (now confirmed, see link in comments). Peachtree City, Georgia is 30 miles, give or take, south of where most filming was located for season one of the show. With weather here in Georgia already climbing into the mid-to-upper 90s, approaching 100 degrees, there are sure to be some sweltering days on the set. Good luck to all of the cast and crew on a successful second season production and remember to drink lots of water and stay out of the sun as much as possible! [...]
