In an extremely disappointing turn of events, it turns out that Stephen King is longer planning on writing an episode of hit AMC series, The Walking Dead ! Why? Well, it has something to do with the departure of a certain showrunner...

Bleeding Cool have heard from a good source near the show that the moment Stephen King‘s plan to write an episode of The Walking Dead with his son Joe Hill was extinguished was the moment that Frank Darabont came unbound from the show.

When it was originally revealed that Stephen King, along with his son Joe Hill, would write either a season two or season three episode of AMC's, horror fans rejoiced. One of the writer's many credits include, a very frightening and intense novel featuring zombies, and this alone resulted in excitement being at an all time high. Unfortunately, Bleeding Cool have now broken the news that King will no longer be penning an episode of the show. Why? Well...What a shame! However, I suppose it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise considering the close relationship between King and Frank Darabont. (who has previously directed such Stephen King adaptations asand) What do you guys make of this? Are you disappointed that the legendary horror writer will no longer take a crack at? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
