Now there is literally even more to look forward to when The Walking Dead returns.

AMC announced Thursday that the hotly anticipated Season 2 premiere of the zombie drama will be a supersized 90-minute episode, to air Sunday, Oct. 16 at 9/8c.

Ah, but with this good news comes some bad. Although a half-dozen hour-long installments will air in the weeks to follow, the final six episodes of TWD‘s second cycle won’t unspool until Sunday, Feb. 12 at 9 pm — translating into an 11-week midseason hiatus.

Why don't they just start airing seasons every five years while they're at it.

Six episodes is all you get? And only 12 total for the season?

I can understand season 1 having been abbreviated, but there's no excuse for 12 episodes- and an 11 week interruption after airing only 6 episodes.

And then you have to wait again until next October.
