After only two weeks on the air it was reported on Monday (by The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.com) that AMC show (we can now call hit show) The Walking Dead has been renewed for second 13-episode season.

This comes a no surprise as the Image comic TV adaptation brought in 5.3 million viewers for its premier and 4.7 for episode 2 on the following week.  This now makes it “the largest audience for an original series on AMC.”
