AMC Global Media reached a settlement of $120 million with the creators of the "The Walking Dead" franchise, according to reports. The agreement, finalized after four years of legal proceedings, involves profit participation disputes that originated in 2022 with the involvement of creators Robert Kirkman, Glen Mazzara, David Alpert, Charles Eglee, and Gale Anne Hurd.
The settlement is split into two payments - $85 million paid this month, and the remaining $35 million to be paid next year. Both sides expressed satisfaction with the amicable resolution and the continued success of the franchise. This is not the first legal battle AMC has faced over the series; in 2021, they paid $200 million to Frank Darabont in a similar case, and last year, Dave Erickson, creator of "Fear of the Walking Dead," also filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract over profit payments for his show.
