The last time The Walking Dead was on hiatus, AMC launched a Digital Studio, in part to produce online content for its various shows. One of those series was a six-part web companion to the channel's zombie/survival maim-a-thon, titled Torn Apart. The series, directed by the show's special effects guru, Greg Nicotero, was a huge hit, even taking home an award for Outstanding Achievement in Writing Derivative New Media at the WGA New Media Awards. Now, with The Walking Dead soon to head into season 3, AMC and Nicotero are returning with a new 4-part web series, titled The Walking Dead: Cold Storage. Cold Storage will serve as a prequel to the highly popular drama, which will begin its third season on October 14. It will follow a new group of characters in the early days of the infestation and a brief plot summary promises us that "things are not what they appear." In addition to dropping a massive (sic) all over that sentence, I'm also going to assume it means that at least one of the new characters is going to turn out to be a walker, or evil, or DEAD ALL ALONG. Who knows which one for sure. Among the new cast members is Daniel Roebuck, who played Doc Arzt on the first season of Lost. He's going to try his best not to explode this time
