February 27, 2013 Lori Acken

Today, AMC confirmed what most fans of The Walking Dead were pretty certain of already: Glen Mazzara’s righthand man Scott Gimple will take over as showrunner and executive producer when the show’s 16- episode fourth season begins production May 6. The new season will premiere in October. “Scott has been an essential part of this show since he came aboard at the very beginning of season two. He’s contributed to guiding this show in a substantial way that has resulted in a lot of the key scenes and storylines fans have dubbed signature moments of The Walking Dead,” said the […]

The Walking Dead Live: Nicotero, Cohan, Reedus and Yeun enjoy fan love and beer in Milwaukee

February 18, 2013 Lori Acken

This weekend, more than 2,500 fans crowded into Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater for a pair of Q&A sessions with The Walking Dead co-executive producer and special effects guru Greg Nicotero and stars Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Norman Reedus (Daryl). As slobbering uberfans of the record-breaking AMC hit, my husband and I scored seats at the 10pm show amid mohawks and zombie wannabes, grandmas and middle-aged couples who might have seemed more at home at the comedy shows, concerts and author chats more common to the venue. Plenty of audience members had clearly made liberal use of the numerous […]

February 11, 2013 Lori Acken

Not even the Grammy Awards could keep fans of AMC’s zombie smash The Walking Dead from tuning into the show’s Season 3 midseason premiere to find out which Dixon brother prevailed in The Governor’s twisted death match — and just how far off the deep end Rick may have fallen. The much-anticipated episode, “The Suicide King” drew 12.3 million viewers, besting the show’s previous record of 10.4 million viewers for October’s Season 3 opener. • RELATED: Channel Guide talks with Steven Yeun about Glenn’s changing role as the prison and Woodbury collide In a press release announcing the numbers, AMC […]

February 11, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Not surprisingly, The CW today announced early renewals for next season of three of its hottest series — Arrow, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. All three will be returning in Fall 2013. “We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz, “and now with our new hit Arrow and fan favorite Supernatural on Wednesday night, and the continued success of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that.” Pedowitz also expained that The CW has not only been happy with how all three shows […]

The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun on Glenn’s changing role as the prison and Woodbury collide

February 3, 2013 Lori Acken

When Glenn Rhee first appeared on The Walking Dead, he was a ball-cap-wearing smartass who put the encyclopedic knowledge of a city that only a pizza-delivery guy can claim to good use in getting his fellow survivors out of tough spots. Not that it earned him much respect. As the AMC hit drama’s third season returns Feb. 10, Glenn has evolved from a flaky kid into a purposeful, mentally and physically adept warrior thanks to the love of a good woman and the realization that he’s capable of so much more than scrambling through sewers. “I think it’s been an […]

January 30, 2013 Lori Acken

If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, Chris Hardwick has your dream job. As host of Talking Dead, the freewheeling after-show for the hit zombie drama, the comic and Nerdist podcaster gets to have the same intense, post-episode conversations that we do — but with a much cooler crowd that includes TWD’s cast and creators and a throng of celebrities gleefully letting their fan flag fly. The rest of us can take part, too, via call-in questions and online commentary. And when Talking returns in its new hourlong incarnation after The Walking Dead’s Feb. 10 midseason premiere, Hardwick hopes […]

“The Walking Dead” brings new characters, struggles for Season 3

October 1, 2012 StayTuned Staff

It’s hard to believe now, but two years ago people weren’t sure if The Walking Dead belonged on a tony network like AMC. This was, after all, the home of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, not to mention its stable of classic Hollywood films. How would some zombie show based on a (gasp!) comic book fit in? Quite well, it turns out. The Walking Dead immediately set rating records for AMC, and fan fervor has only grown, with the Season 2 finale in March pulling in a jaw-dropping 9 million viewers. The show was also one of the biggest attractions […]

Comic-Con 2012: “Arrow” review

July 11, 2012 StayTuned Staff

We’re not in Smallville anymore, that’s for sure. With Arrow, the upcoming small-screen interpretation of the DC Comics character Green Arrow, The CW is taking a page out of the Christopher Nolan playbook, forsaking any BAM! POW! ZAP! moments and going dark. Very dark. Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is a vacuous, materialistic playboy who is heir to his family’s Queen Industries empire. He’s such a jerk, in fact, that he decides to take his girlfriend’s sister on a boat ride with him, and not just so he can show her the stateroom. But a storm at sea wrecks the ship, […]

Atlanta native IronE Singleton, who plays T-Dog on AMC’s The Walking Dead, took time to talk to us — on his birthday, of all days!

You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose? Entertainment Weekly, People and Essence. 2. If your TV only carried three networks, which three would you have to have? AMC, of course. […]
