News - Judge Refuses To Dismiss Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead Lawsuit
The Walking Dead may have come to an end in 2022, but the potential courtroom battle for the show’s profits will continue.

Frank Darabont, the original Walking Dead showrunner who developed the comic for television, kicked off over a decade of legal headaches for AMC when he and his representatives at CAA filed a lawsuit against the cable network in 2013.

Hulu's live TV offerings are not available in the new Disney+ app. Not every Hulu show is making it onto Disney+, though, as Modern Family and Love Island are among those left out due to licensing deals, according to Variety.
