Will Stephen King and Joe Hill Still Write 'The Walking Dead' in Season 2?
Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and zombies have been salivating at the news that the two authors will team up to write an episode of AMC's hit series The Wallking Dead. But with the final episodes of season 2 now being plotted, will the dynamic father-son duo still tackle the undead this coming season? We asked writer-producer-director Frank Darabont about this earlier today at Comic-Con. Find out what he told us after the jump!
"I'm hoping," said Darabont, "that's going to work for a third season. By the time they got freed up this year… We're in the final marathon push to actually get those last five scripts in. To try and start from scratch on a script with them... writers were already assigned their things, and we gotta get them written soon."
So the good news is that it still looks good. The bad news is it ain't gonna happen this year. But some things are worth waiting for, and two of the most acclaimed authors in horror literature partnering to write the most acclaimed horror show on TV is definitely one of them.
