'The Walking Dead' Returning in February

Relax fans -- Rick, the Governor and the rest of the living... and dead are only taking a short break.

Were you alarmed when you learned that Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead was actually the winter/midseason finale? No worries, unlike shows such as Revolution and Grimm, which will be gone for four months, the popular AMC nail biter will only be gone until February 10.

In addition, AMC has also announced that talk show, The Talking Dead will expand to one hour when The Walking Dead returns in February. The late night talk show, hosted by Chris Hardwick, features a variety of actors and other people directly involved with the show, as well as celebrities who are big fans. Each episode gives fans a deeper look into the show with behind the scenes clips, FAQs, sneak peeks and my personal favorite, a funny memorandum of characters who have lost their lives during the last episode.
