AMC's The Walking Dead continues to garner buzz over its upcoming fourth season, especially over how Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the prison group characters will develop moving forward.

Wet Paint reported that Carl clearly isn't going to be too thrilled to see Rick's faction align with the people of Woodbury. Co-executive producer Denise Huth spoke about the unraveling of the father-son relationship between Rick and Carl, and how it affects the former.

"Carl's changing. It's a huge wake-up call for Rick and it's a big fear for him moving into next season. Is Carl going to be the next Rick, or is Carl going to be the Governor" she said.

TWD Comic book creator/executive producer Robert Kirkman spoke about Rick's increased responsibility to the considerably larger group.

"Rick has a lot more people to look out for, he's going to need a lot more resources. It'll also be an incredible burden to maintain, to make it a functioning society," he explained.

AMC's The Walking Dead will be kicking off its fourth season on Sunday, October 13 at 9/8 p.m. Central. The cast and crew are currently in production in Griffin, Ga.
