While it doesn’t guarantee a life throughout the season, Lauren Cohen is definitely in firmer ground for season three of The Walking Dead as she’s been promoted to a series regular. Which the series needs after losing a few of its regulars in the second season, which makes for a good bit of fun for those that like to see shows change and deal with losses like this. Cohen joined up in season two as Maggie, Hershel’s tough southern daughter who knows how to handle herself on the farm and off with a weapon. She provided a bit of relationship drama as well as she got close to Glenn who in turn faced his own issues about being connected with someone at a time when life is too short to really form such attachments.
The third season is slated to hit this fall and it’s expected to go in the same format, just with more episodes, that the second season did. With sixteen episodes, series creator and exec producer Robert Kirkman noted that they’d be doing it in two forms with eight up front and eight afterward, essentially splitting it into two mini seasons or similar to British runs on TV with the shorter seasons but still with one overall storyline for the season.
