Robert Kirkman Talks To Screen Rant About Season 2 And What We Can Expect

Screen Rant got a chance to sit down with Screen Rant for a very brief interview.  In the interview Kirkman talks about whether or not the survivors will be staying on the farm, how Carl will react to Sophia’s death, how the question of who’s the father of Lori’s baby will affect Rick and Shane’s relationship, and if we’ll be seeing any new characters from the comics in the show among other things.

Will The Group Remain on Hershel’s farm?

Kirkman: That’s going to be a big part of the second half of the season. Shane was very charged up at the end of this episode and Hershel is definitely going to be seen as being kind of in the wrong here. They’re going to have to figure out what he knew about Sophia and exactly how involved in that process he was. These two groups are going to be very much at odds when we move into our second half of the season. Our opening to our second half of the season is going to be pretty explosive.

How Will Rick’s Son Carl React to Sophia’s Death?

Kirkman: One of the major story lines in the comics is Carl’s (Chandler Riggs) dissention into a darker role; he’s forced into adulthood to make terrible decisions. His character evolving over the course of the comic book series is really going to be accelerated by the absence of Sophia. That will remain largely in tact and be sped up. There’s going to be more darkness creeping in to the series in the second half of the season. Now that the Sophia question has been answered, they’re not going to have that hanging over their heads and that’s not going to be bogging them down making them have to devote time to that.

How Will Rick’s Role as Leader be Affected by Sophia’s Death?

Kirkman: The entire season arc is, is Rick a good leader? Is this something he wants to do? Is this something he’s qualified to for?This is a role that’s been thrust upon him; he didn’t seek it out. Everybody looks to him for answers and they are very clear examples of him not having the answers and making a mistake. The situation with Sophia and the fact that she did turn up dead, that is going to weigh on him. It’s something he’s willing to feel responsible for.

Now that the Shane/Lori Affair is Out in the Open, How will Rick and Shane Deal with the Question of Whose Baby Lori is Having?

Kirkman: It is going to eat away at them to a certain extent. This is an example of these people having to learn to let go of society and let go of the things that they were taking for granted before the end of the world. At a certain point you have to throw up your hands and say this is the world that we live in, this is a question that may never be answered. It’ll be a bee in their bonnets for a bit.

When WILL We be Seeing The Governor and/or Michonne?

Kirkman: I can say only that we will see them eventually. We will see some new characters popping up as early as the [2012] premiere episode.
