This package deal situation is said to only go into effect for projects moving forward, and won't play into anything that's already on the network or in development behind the scenes. (That goes for IFC, WE tv and BBC America, too.) There's nothing guaranteeing this decision will remain in place for a permanent basis, of course, as it could get lifted before or after things get worked out. But there's no real timeline for anything working out, as Justice Eileen Bransten won't be reviewing the filings until early 2017. And any trial that results won't take place until 2018, since Bransten will already be busy for the entirety of next year. Negan's reign might already be over by that time.
