"The Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara has dropped new hints about the show&amp;#039;s second season. It was previously confirmed that the zombie drama&amp;#039;s second run will see Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the other survivors arrive at Hershel&amp;#039;s farm. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s been surprising is that in the graphic novel, the story that takes place on Hershel&amp;#039;s farm is really only a few issues,&amp;quot; Mazzara told the official AMC blog. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been able to mine that for many episodes, and we&amp;#039;re very excited about the depth to which we&amp;#039;re able to push the characters [and] the different dynamics that we&amp;#039;re able to explore.&amp;quot; Mazzara, who recently replaced Frank Darabont as showrunner, also revealed that the human survivors will become &amp;quot;a plague unto themselves&amp;quot; in future episodes. &amp;quot;Nothing goes right for Hershel once Rick and his band show up,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;They make the zombie apocalypse look like kids in a candy store.&amp;quot; He added that viewers may end up siding with Hershel (Scott Wilson) rather than Rick and his group. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s interesting is that if this was a show solely about Hershel, Rick and his band would really be the antagonists,&amp;quot; he suggested. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s been really surprising because every action that Rick and his band take is completely logical, but you&amp;#039;ll certainly sympathise with Hershel.&amp;quot; The Walking Dead will return to AMC in the US and FX in the UK in October. &amp;gt; Walking Dead star: &amp;#039;Show has not suffered from Frank Darabont exit&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for season two of The Walking Dead below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
