'Walking Dead' Season Four: Robert Kirkman Teases New Threat, Talks Michonne and 20 Seasons [SPOILERS]

It's officially October and we all know what that means...It's time for the dead to rise. The hit AMC show, Walking Dead, is about to start it's fourth season and Robert Kirkman is talking a lot about what the new year has in store, including a brand new threat and Michonne's struggle to deal with Andrea's death. He is even gearing up for 20 seasons. SPOILERS BELOW

With Breaking Bad coming to such a satisfying conclusion this past weekend, Walking Dead comic and show creator, Robert Kirkman, told ETonline about his long term plans for the show, when asked if already has an end in mind:

"Not right now. I mean, we're happy to go into season four. We're hoping that it continues doing well. Hope to see a season five, a season six, a season 20. Who knows how long it'll run? I do think that when the show does wrap up there will be a really cool resolution and people will be satisfied that they've gone on this journey; it's not going to be a thing that just kind of tapers off and ends in an unsatisfactory way."

20 seasons seems like an awfully long apocalypse, however it's highly likely that some of your favorite characters might not make it to season five. Kirkman promises that season four will be the toughest one yet:

"There's a new threat on the horizon and it's probably more deadly than anything they've faced thus far, and so as rough a time as the characters have had thus far, season four's going to be rougher."

He also went to say that, fan favorite, Michonne will have a particularly hard time this season:

"More than anyone else, she's very affected by the death of Andrea, and she's driven to find this guy and bring him to justice, and the fact that he's still out there in the unknown doing god knows what is really driving her crazy. And so her, more than any other character, is obsessed with finding him and making him pay."

Walking Dead season four begins Sunday October 13 on AMC.
