Frank Darabont may direct just one episode of the upcoming series The Walking Dead.

However, according to Dread Central, the Golden Globe nominee will continue in his role as writer and executive producer after the pilot and will "be keeping a watchful eye on set" in Atlanta, Georgia.

Daramont is also reportedly considering returning to the director's chair if the zombie drama is commissioned for a second season.

The directors for the remaining five episodes of the show's first season, which will star Andrew Lincoln and former Prison Break actress Sarah Wayne Callies, have yet to be announced.

The Walking Dead will air on AMC from October. FX recently bought the rights to air the show in the UK.
