Showrunner Frank Darabont, who also served as a director of AMC's monster hit "The Walking Dead," is stepping down right before the upcoming second season.
The news, first reported by Deadline.com, reveals the strange timeline that saw Darabont as a centerpiece of The Walking Dead's Comic-Con panel just this past Friday along with executive producers Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel the series is based, and producer Gale Anne Hurd.
Deadine reports the other shoe hasn't quite fallen with regards to Darabont's exit: Andreeva writes: "There is speculation that Darabont might be off the show completely, but I hear talks are still ongoing about him possibly staying on in some capacity."
Season 2 of The Walking Dead will premiere October 16.
