This should come as no surprise given The Walking Dead‘s consistently stellar ratings over the past three years, but the zombie TV series — currently in midseason hiatus — has been renewed for a fourth season. Interestingly, though, Glen Mazzara, who’s served as showrunner for the second and third seasons (following Frank Darabont’s controversial departure), won’t be back.

Still, that won’t prevent me from eagerly anticipating Season 4 next fall.
