Glen Mazzara Talks About Season 3, The Prison, And Future Characters **COMIC SPOILERS!**
**COMIC SPOILERS! DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED**
TVOvermind.com got a chance to sit down with Showrunner Glen Mazzara to talk a little about Season 3 and what we can expect to see done with the prison and what characters we can hope to see in Season 3.
Mazzara starts things off by talking about the prison:
“Right now, I do see that prison as a significant storyline for season 3 and season 4. I do think that’s a major storyline, and I know we were on the farm for longer than perhaps people wanted, there were reasons for that. I think what we want to do is make sure that that prison does not become claustrophobic. I think the farm played a little claustrophobic for people. Now that the entire landscape has fallen to the zombie apocalypse and zombies are literally at the gate of the prison, if you see in the graphic novel, that prison is a very, very small safe corner. There’s a lot of danger around, so we won’t feel like we’re bottled up in the same way that we were on the farm, in season 3. So, I do think that prison is a significant storyline, and we’re also interested in opening up the world. You know, The Governor has the world of Woodbury, there are other factors out there in the world, other groups, so I think that Rick’s group is really stumbling into this larger world.”
Mazzara then goes on to talk about future plans and characters for the show:
“There’s a lot of great material from the comic book, this show would have to go on 20 years to get to all of it. I think the Tyreese character is someone we’re interested in introducing at some point. We still have Morgan and Duane out there, from the pilot, we’re interested in them, and there’s new characters that will be original to the series, not coming straight from the comic books. I was telling someone yesterday, I think seasons 1 and 2 have been prologue, and now we’re hitting the ground running, and I see season 3 as resetting the show in terms of what I really hope it can be.

The farm didn’t “play a little claustrophobic”; the farm was just really, really boring.
I agree with turtle. I think they stayed too much on the farm. Whole season at the farm? But nevertheless, the show is great. I hope they come back sooner rather than later. October is quite far.
I hope I will be able to keep myself from reading the Wiki as there’s a lot of spoilers there.
OT. your captcha is broken.
I think the farm may have been the largest threat to this shows longevity, simply because it was boring and the entirety of season 2 was mundane to say the least. The huge gaps between production and release and the short runs also challenge it’s target demographics attention span.
I feel this could have been one of the best TV series to ever happen, being the only survival / horror / zombie thing to ever make a series (aside from dead set which was a comedy) and just like other greats like Jericho, it’s liable to end up canned due to lack of viewership.
Also consider that the majority of us view it torrented because it doesn’t leave the US until months after it’s released over there and no one wants to wait months only to have a show packed with 50% advertisements.
I only hope they manage to overcome these hurdles, and I hope they drop some of the sillier plotlines like the Govenator and the Mad Max meets 28 Days Later elements and stay true to the realism with which they’ve started so far. If they’re just going to make a verbatim rip of the comit, even I–a hardened horror and survival fanatic who runs a 14 million viewership blog and won’t rate a movie 5/5 unless it has zombies–will be switching off in disinterest because I’ve already read the comic.
i wouldn’t be suprised if all of season 3 would be the prison, after all it took 5 volumes for the survivors to leave this will be interesting
of course like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very
troublesome to tell the truth then again I’ll definitely come back again.
