697LikesI'm up to episode 5 of season 2, what a great freaking show. Took 2 or 3 shows to really get going, but now it has really hit its stride. The only problem is that once I catch up, I'll really miss being able to watch a show every day.

Just read something else speculating that he may still stay on in some capacity. Early guesses are that the pressure of producing 13 episodes, in the compressed tv-as-opposed-to-feature-films world, got to be too much. Hopefully this will not effect things. I fully expect them to get an accomplished showrunner to step in.Originally Posted by Dexter
Thats terrible news about Frank. I believe there were budgeting issues before they started shooting Season 2 that was causing some problems. I wonder if Frank wanted to run wild and AMC tried to reel him in.
I just hope TWD can continue on in its current state. I would be quite disappointed if it jumps the shark in Season 2!
Yeah he was already grousing before the shooting started. I'd almost guarantee that Gale Anne Hurd and AMC are fiercely aware of how important it is for them to get a bonafide guy to step in. The scripts(I think) were mostly done. We will see in the next few days if Darabont stays on as a producer or something...that will be the real test.
'Walking Dead' Gets a New Showrunner | TheWrap TV
Glen Mazzara will replace Frank Darabont as the showrunner of AMC's "The Walking Dead," a person close to the show confirms to TheWrap.
Mazzara, a former executive producer of "HawthRNe" and "The Shield," joined "Walking Dead" for the second season of the critically acclaimed, hit zombie drama, which debuts Oct. 16.
I think this was in the works and they put a brave face on for SDCC. Anyone who worked 'the Shield' is bonafide in my opinion. Now we just need to see if Darabont continues to be associated with the show. If he walks away completely then there is more of a story behind the scenes.
