AMC has released a new trailer for the forthcoming third season of The Walking Dead, and, as if answered by God, this series actually looks exciting.

Premiered at the San Diego Comic Con, the new teaser gives us the first glimpse of Brit boy, David Morrissey, as the Governor, the principal Big Bad of series three.

It was announced that the premiere of the third season will take place on Sunday, 14 October on AMC in the US, and will then be made available to international markets within hours on Monday, 15 October.

"Season two of The Walking Dead marked the best performance for a US cable show in our international markets. It delivered record-breaking ratings in both the US and internationally," said Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP Scripted Programming at Fox International Channels.

"We are committed to ensuring the best viewing experience for these clearly committed fans. We think the global launch strategy is a key part of this series' international success, and are excited to be working so closely with our partners at AMC on blowing it out of the park again this year."
