The Season 2 premiere was originally going to open differently, with Shane abandoned after the explosion of the CDC and having to out run a horde of zombies. The survivors would pick up Shane in the RV and try to seek shelter. Before the highway and before the farm, they visited the Vatos nursing home. The upcoming Season 2 Blu-Ray box set will include this, as well as other deleted scenes, which you can see glimpses of in the
original Season 2 trailer.
EW was able to get their hands on a deleted clip from the season 2 premiere of
The Walking Dead, which aired last fall. The following clip shows the group trying to find shelter in the Vatos nursing home.
The Walking Dead returns to television on October 14th, 2012.
An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV.
Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying world. He was a small town cop who had only fired his weapon a couple times but never at anyone and had only ever seen one dead body. Separated from his family, he must sort through the death and horror to try and find his wife and son. In a world ruled by the dead, people are forced to finally begin living.
