AMC paying Frank Darabont $200 million after lawsuit settlement

He hasn't even been with the show since the second season!

AMC Networks has settled a lengthy legal dispute with filmmaker Frank Darabont and the Creative Artists Agency for $200 million over the cable network owner’s long-running zombie series “The Walking Dead.”

In the settlement, filed Friday to the SEC, AMC buys all the rights to “The Walking Dead” and all related spinoffs from Darabont, executive producer and creative force during the first two seasons of “The Walking Dead.” In addition to the cash payment, the settlement provides revenue sharing for future streaming exhibitions of “The Walking Dead” and “Fear The Walking Dead” to Darabont.
