AMC has announced that, starting October 3rd at 2PM EST, they will be hosting a new 6-episode web series on amctv.com for The Walking Dead leading up to the premiere of Season 2 on October 16th. The series will tell the back story of the “Bicycle Girl” zombie Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) shot in the pilot episode of Season 1. Even though she was a very minor character in the show, her scene is also one of the most memorable, so this is sure to be an adequate way to hold us over until the second season premieres.

In other news, a new Season 2 trailer for The Walking Dead has hit the web. It contains some material we’ve seen before, but the majority of it is brand new. Check it out after the jump!
