The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has hinted as to The Governor’s (David Morrissey) involvement in the new season. Speaking to The AP Kirkman said, “We’re doing some very new and interesting things with The Governor in season four, as you’ll see.”

He went on to explain about this season’s change in dynamic. “The new season is about the continuing progression of these characters and their lives, so while we’re still in the prison, it is a very different prison than what we’ve known thus far, and they have kind of built a little pocket of civilization within those fences.”

Kirkman also fully endorses the television show diverting from his own comic continuity. “I sometimes am the loudest when it comes to let’s change things up and let’s make things different,” said Kirkman

“We’re all of the mind that the television show is a different animal, so while we’re adapting these stories, we do want to keep things fresh and new for the television audience just like it was fresh and new with the comic book audience the first time they read it. So, I feel like those changes are important.”

The Walking Dead returns to UK TV screens this Friday, 18th October, courtesy of Fox.
