AMC has released a morsel of a teaser to whet appetites for season two of its hit Frank Darabont-produced zombie series “The Walking Dead.” The show, which debuted last year to ratings success and critical acclaim, earning a Best New Series nomination at the 2011 Writers Guild of America Awards and a Best Drama Series nom at the 68th Golden Globes Awards, will return in October.

The promo features hero cop Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) putting the dead back to rest. New faces joining the show this season include Lauren Cohan (Death Race 2: Frankenstein Lives), Scott Wilson (Monster), and Pruitt Taylor Vince (Drive Angry 3-D).
