The Walking Dead returns this fall with what will prove to be a killer season 2! The show did so well in its 6-episode first season that AMC is bringing it back this fall for a 13-episode second season!

That is great news for Walking Dead fans who will have waited for a year to find out what has happened to Rick Grimes and his band of survivors after the explosive season finale.

According to TV Guide this morning, The Walking Dead is also getting a new cast member and Laurie Holden will no longer be the only X-Files alum on board.

Pruitt Taylor Vince, known to X-Files Fans as Gerry Schnauz in "Unruhe," has landed the role of Otis.

"According to the graphic novels on which The Walking Dead is based, Otis is a rather easygoing but racist survivor who, with his girlfriend Patricia, took refuge at Wiltshire Estates until it was overrun by zombies. They later flee to Herschel's Farm, where they meet with Rick Grimes and his band of survivors under less than optimal circumstances." - TV Guide

While season 2 will not premiere until the fall, AMC is giving you a hilarious first look with this behind-the-scenes video from their first day of shooting.

Thanks to Kelly for the heads up!
