Stephen King + The Walking Dead = Awesome

Stories for the second season of THE WALKING DEAD are busy being penned and tonight comes the news that none other than Stephen King may be writing himself an episode.

Now that’s what I call good news. No big secret that I’m a huge King fan and I’m thinking an SK penned hour is just what the series needs.

Mind you, none of this is officially official. Word came out at a recent panel discussion for the show and star Laurie Holden let the big secret slip.

So far, what we know about season two is that Frank Darabont will not direct the premiere and that Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) was offered a director gig and passed.

The inclusion of a King drafted episode would definitely up the excitement meter.

No official debut date for season two yet but October is predicted, I would suspect Halloween time once again.
