'The Walking Dead' Finale Ratings Blow Up!
AMC's The Walking Dead hit a series high for its final first season episode Sunday night.
Six million viewers tuned in for the show's sixth episode, including four million adults 18-49. That's up 9% from last week -- which was also a series high.
If you include the show's 11 p.m. encore, the finale delivered a whopping 8.1 million viewers.
Walking Dead ended with a quasi cliffhanger that felt like a solid finish to the first batch of episodes while still leaving fans ready for more zombie action -- which may not happen until next October, the current target date for the 13-episode second season.

'Walking Dead' Fans May Wait A While For Season 2
According to Hollywoodreporter sources, AMC isn't likely to launch the 13-episode second season until next October.
The reason? Fearfest. AMC's annual horror movie marathon served as a perfect promotional platform to ramp up interest for The Walking Dead, which also took advantage of the higher audience levels during the fall (something not all cable shows can pull off given the barrage of broadcast shows airing at the same time -- which is why most cable dramas run during the summer).
Plus, AMC has already pushed Breaking Bad from March to the summer, and has Mad Men airing in the summer as usual, and at some point has to squeeze in the premiere of its new original series, The Killing. Combined with Walking Dead, that's four shows to air next year, the most the network has ever had, and cable networks tend to spread out their premieres so they can properly promote each one.
Now, the October plan is not final, and there probably won't be a firm premiere date for awhile -- heck, the second season hasn't even started production yet. But the current strategy is for another October roll out.
Some silver lining: Frank Darabont is expected to write and direct another episode next year.

'Walking Dead' Jon Bernthal: 'Fans hate Shane'
Jon told Empire that he was unsure how fans would react to his casting in the new television adaptation.
"I loved the character when I read it for the first time," he revealed. "When I was introduced at Comic-Con, I was all ready for the audience to boo him, and I know a lot of the fans hate Shane. [But] they applauded, which I really appreciated."
However, Bernthal confessed that he felt some sympathy for the character.
"What's good about all the characters is there's no one who is just good or bad," he explained. "These heroic characters have flaws... and I think everybody feels justified in what they're trying to do."

Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne talks 'Lori and Carl'
Sarah talked about her character on the new hit show "The Walking Dead" in a new interview.
"From a character perspective there's a great simplicity to Lori. One of the first questions actors ask is what do I want, what propels me through the story, and with Lori it's so simple: keep my son alive. There's a really great clarity to that. Whereas with Sara from "Prison Break" there was so much going on with her, everything from protecting her sobriety to protecting her independence to navigating a relationship with a father - there were so many layers to it. With Lori, there's just one simple, clear drive, and anything that gets away from that is off the table and anything that supports it is in."
"I think it may be a long time before we get Lori's side of things. Frank has written a relationship between these characters, especially before everything goes to hell, where they just weren't working, and they were really tearing each other apart. What I thought was interesting was that Rick said to Shane in the beginning, that Lori said "sometimes I wonder if you even care about us at all" and that really tore Rick up. From my perspective, I wonder if that's something that she even meant. She could have been cooking eggs and he said something that upset her and she said under her breath. "sometimes I wonder if you even care about us at all" - maybe she didn't mean it to be a sword that would cut him in half, she just said it as an aside.
I don't think she had any idea about how much it hurt him. And that's where their marriage is, they're hurting each other without even knowing it. Part of what fascinates me is Lori's perspective on what's wrong with their marriage, how to make it better. If you've seen the pilot then you know that they have more to contend with when they find each other than they did before he was shot. And it's not like there's time to go into counseling. It's not like they have time to sit down and figure out what's going on with their marriage, they have other fish to fry."
