starts tonight in the US
starts Friday (21st) in the UK on FX
seven episodes airing this year, the last six airing February next
first episode is an extended one like the first season premiere, i believe 90 minutes US TV time again so 65ish of running time.

the prequel webisodes are now online at http://walkingdead.fxuk.com/ or your friendly neighbourhood torrent site

excited? i am.

as always, if this becomes the weekly thread, expect spoilers from Mondays onwards...
