In one of several long-running legal battles, the producers of the popular zombie show lost an important round in their fight with AMC over profits.
The ‘Walking Dead’ court cases are being closely watched because they provide a rare glimpse into the typically opaque world of Hollywood accounting.
In their original complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that AMC withheld potentially hundreds of millions of profits from the series and from the spinoff shows “Talking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead.” At the heart of the case was the wording of their contracts and whether it left them the ability to further negotiate their profit split.The cable network, which made its name with “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” is now going to turn its attention to another legal battle over whether it shortchanged the creators and producers of the hit series.
The series’ first showrunner, Frank Darabont, and his agent, Creative Artists Agency, also have two pending complaints. They were consolidated for trial, which is scheduled for April 2021, after the COVID-19 pandemic forced a delay from November.after he was fired from the show, alleged the network deprived him of millions in profits through improper and abusive “self-dealing.
“We are now turning our attention to the trial in New York — which involves very similar claims by CAA and Frank Darabont — secure in the knowledge that the first court to hold a trial on these issues ruled completely in AMC’s favor,” Snyder said.
