The Walking Dead Set for Second Season

NEW YORK: Just two episodes in and AMC has already given a 13-episode second-season order for The Walking Dead.

Since its October 31 debut, the show has broken ratings records, with the series reaching more adults 18 to 49 than any other show in the history of cable television. Fox International Channels has also given a global renewal for a second season, following record-breaking premiere ratings in 120 countries across Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. The series was the highest rated original premiere ever to air on FIC simultaneously worldwide.

"The Dead has spread!" said Charlie Collier, the president of AMC. "No other cable series has ever attracted as many adults 18-49 as The Walking Dead. This reaffirms viewers’ hunger for premium television on basic cable. We are so proud to be bringing back The Dead again, across the globe."
