While no official word has yet come out of AMC, it appears as though The Walking Dead is set to be renewed for a fourth season.In the fine print of the American Red Cross blood drive event that AMC’s The Walking Dead is sponsoring, there’s a note that the prizewinner will be brought to the set of The Walking Dead in Atlanta as promised–but JoBlo noticed that it promises a visit to the set during the filming of a season four episode.The contest rules state, “AMC and The Walking Dead are joining forces with the American Red Cross for a nationwide blood drive that, aside from being a great way from showing your humanity, also might win you a 3-day, 2-night trip to the Season 4 production of The Walking Dead in 2013.”As the series has not yet been renewed for a fourth season, this has surprised a lot of people. And lets anyone think it possible that this is a typo (the second half of the third season will be filming soon, and is currently on hiatus), the 2013 should really seal the deal.Expect an announcement soon–perhaps at New York Comic Con–and maybe for more than one season. Given the astronomical ratings the show has garnered for the network, everyone has been expecting a renewal for some time now.The show’s third season begins on October 14 on AMC.
