The second season of the AMC horror–drama television series The Walking Dead premiered on October 16, 2011, and concluded on March 18, 2012, consisting of 13 episodes. The series is based on the series of comic books of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard; it was developed for television by Frank Darabont, who serves as executive producer for the second season along with Kirkman, Glen Mazzara, David Alpert and Gale Anne Hurd. After Darabont was fired during pre-production, Mazzara served as showrunner for the second season.

This season introduces the notable comic book characters Hershel Greene and Maggie Greene and is mainly set at the Greenes’ farm. The season continues the story of Rick Grimes and his group of survivors as they continue to survive in a world filled with zombies. The group then encounters the farm of veterinarian Hershel Greene, where tensions arise among members of the group and the mysterious inhabitants of the farm.
