The Season 2 cast photos were released ahead of Comic-Con last year, so we've been keeping an eye out for The Walking Dead Season 3 portraits for the last couple of months. We now have the full set of 17 photos for you to check out, and you'll notice that these images are going for a much darker look than the past season.
"AMC announced... the premiere of The Walking Dead Season 3 on Sun., Oct. 14 at 9/8c. As previously announced, the series’ third season will consist of 16 episodes. Season 3 will also air in two-parts with the first eight hours kicking off Oct. 14 and returning Feb. 2013 with the final eight episodes.
