The survivors of a zombie apocalypse have found sanctuary within the walls of a prison, finally achieving a semblance of peace and stability. But lurking among them is a silent threat, a monster in human form with a sinister secret. This was the original plan for The Walking Dead season 3, a chilling twist that would have changed the landscape of the show. But the story, shrouded in secrecy for years, was ultimately cut from the narrative, leaving fans wondering why.
