The Walking Dead - Frank Darabont seeking millions more in damages

Aug 7, 2015

Share on Reddit

The ousted creator of the zombie drama is now alleging millions more in damages from a breach of contract.
Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont is asking permission to amend his lawsuit against AMC to include an allegation that his profit participation has been improperly reduced.

Darabont and his CAA agents are currently in court pursuing claims that AMC breached his contract and deprived him of tens of millions of dollars in profits from the hit series by making a sweetheart deal licensing the show to itself. In response, AMC says it has the contractual right to set an imputed license fee for Walking Dead even if the Darabont side believes it is designed to ensure that the show would never be in profit.

The case was filed in December 2013 after Darabont was ousted. Since then, the parties have been stuck in the discovery phase and a contentious battle over AMC's demands to see other contingent compensation agreements handled by CAA.
