Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd from AMC's ultra-violent 'zombie' TV drama "The Walking Dead", recently revealed some new insights about Season 4 of the TV series, with 14 to 20 million viewers per episode:

"You know what's exhilarating?," said Hurd. "Reading the fantastic scripts that we have this season and then being able to see the edited footage and knowing how happy all the cast members are -- except of course the ones we kill. They're not so happy.

"We needed to see where that relationship was going to go and we also knew that the 'walker' threat had almost been manageable last season as we dealt with human upon human dangers, so we wanted to make sure that we didn't forget that the walkers are out there more than ever.
