(At time of writing, Amazon hasn’t given a greenlight for a fourth season.)
One factor that will additionally change is the discharge construction: in contrast to the primary, season two was cut up into two elements, with the primary half airing final November. Kirkman famous how audiences have been divided over this, however argued it was a “necessity” for the season’s manufacturing.

However there was apparently “no actual, lasting detriment” to the present’s efficiency—based on him, the present grew to become Amazon’s primary sequence when it returned.
