The Spot News: Throwing Out The Dead


Frank Darabont Fired The Walking Dead Writers

By Jose

According to Deadline, Frank Darabont has fired all of the staff writers attached to season one and is looking to press ahead with season two without any. This doesn’t mean he’ll be writing every script himself – though, given the time to do so properly, I’m sure he’d do a wonderful job. Instead, he seems interested in getting scripts the way that, for example, Doctor Who does.
This entails hiring a series of freelancers and tasking them with the writing of their own episode, in isolation, away from any writer’s room. There’s a possibility that staff writers from last time will be re-employed as freelancers.

Robert Kirkman the creator of the comic is rumored to be writing an episode or two for next season.
