"The Walking Dead&amp;#039;s second season finale has broken records for cable network AMC.  The episode, which aired on Sunday night in the US, drew an audience of 9 million viewers with 6 million in the key 18-49 demographic. This is an all-time best for any series on the network, which also airs primetime dramas Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Killing.  According to Variety, a total of 10.5 million viewers watched the episode on Sunday night, taking into account the 1.5 million who tuned into the later second airing.  The previous AMC record was also held by The Walking Dead, after its midseason premiere in February drew 8.1 million viewers.  It was announced yesterday that Treme actress Danai Gurira has joined the cast as a series regular for the third season.  AMC will now begin airing the fifth season of Mad Men from Sunday night, with The Killing returning the following week for its second outing. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
