UPDATE: Um, never mind! AMC decided to change this New Year's marathon schedule, making it just Season 3. But we should still get to see Seasons 1 and 2 in a different Thursday marathon, starting February 14. Still, we're very disappointed to not get the full series marathon they promised.

Original story:

You weren't doing anything special from December 31-January 2, right?

AMC is airing a full series marathon of The Walking Dead, starting with the Season 1 pilot at 9 a.m. on Monday, December 31, 2012, and ending with the Season 3 midseason finale on Wednesday, January 2, 2013, at 3 a.m. Actually, right after the midseason finale, "Made to Suffer," they are re-airing the pilot, “Days Gone By,” at 4 a.m. If you are up for it, watch it again!

The second half of Season 3 will begin Sunday, February 10, 2013. You may want to pay attention to Season 1, since a certain character is spoiled to make a re-appearance...

Head here for the full marathon schedule, which includes some Season 2 episode repetition.
