‘The Walking Dead’ Producers Mazzara And Kirkman Preview Season 3

As season 2 of 'The Walking Dead' came to an end in a zombie-filled 'beautifully brutal' way, there were plenty of questions I had as regard to the storyline of the comics are concerned. If you are unfamiliar with the comic, I suggest you not read on after the jump.

We all saw the prison at the end of the episode, which will be the primary setting of season 3. Norman Reedus, who plays badass Daryl Dixon, said that actor David Morrissey has been cast as The Governor. Michonne was introduced, with zombies in tow. We finally found out that Dr. Jenner told Rick 'Everyone is infected'.

Here is what executive producers Glen Mazzara and Robert Kirkman told MTV News:

"When I think of 'The Walking Dead' book, I think about the prison. I think about the Governor. I think about Rick. I think about Michonne. That, to me, is the heart of that story," Mazzara told MTV News about the future of the survival horror series. "That's what I'm excited about writing and seeing come to life. I think that this has been a great chapter one. But now we're moving into our best material. I'm really excited to see what the actors, the writers and the directors can do with that material."

"When the camera rises over the trees and the prison comes into view, I did get a little choked up," Kirkman confessed. "It's a really cool, very bold promise to the audience. To show that and to say, just wait until you see what we're going to do with season three. I'm intimately involved with this show. So knowing what we've already discussed and knowing the different things that we want to do, I can say that we are at the very beginning of this show. We haven't quite gotten to a lot of the big things we've been building to just yet. If you're a big fan of 'The Walking Dead' and you enjoyed season one and season two, then you haven't seen anything yet."

"We're just getting started," Mazzara agreed. After the season two finale, we're inclined to agree.
