List of episodes

The fourth season of AMC's television series The Walking Dead premiered on October 13, 2013, to consist of 16 episodes.[1] 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, and is executive produced by Kirkman, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, and Gale Anne Hurd. Gimple assumed the role of showrunner after the departure of Glen Mazzara at the conclusion of the previous season.[2] The season introduces the notable comic characters Abraham Ford, Eugene Porter, Rosita Espinosa, and Bob Stookey as well as a modified version of the Chalmers family from The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor tie-in novel.

Cast

Main cast

The fourth season features nine actors receiving opening credits billing, all returning from the previous season. Melissa McBride and Scott Wilson are added to the opening credits, after previously being credited as "also starring". Credited as "also starring" are Emily Kinney, Chad Coleman and Sonequa Martin-Green (who are promoted from recurring status)[3] and Larry Gilliard, Jr., who joins the main cast.[4] David Morrissey is removed from the credits for the first five episodes, and is credited as "also starring" in the end credits of episode 5, when he returns.

  • Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes the series' protagonist, the father of Carl Grimes and a former deputy sheriff, who recently relinquished his leadership over the survivor group. (5 episodes)
  • Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, an anti-hero like Southern redneck who is also the group's primary hunter. (5 episodes)

  • Lauren Cohan as Maggie Greene, Hershel's elder daughter, Beth's half-sister, and Glenn's fiancée. (4 episodes)

Adopting a secular worldview after the tragic events of the second season, he is re-developing his Christianity and is highly protective of his two daughters, Maggie and Beth. (4 episodes)
  • David Morrissey as The Governor, former leader of the now-abandoned Woodbury and a primary threat to the prison community now calling himself Brian.[5] (2 episodes)
