Is The Walking Dead’s New Showrunner a Dead Man Walking?

Walking Dead 1

TV Line reports that AMC’s The Walking Dead is “nearing a deal” with a new showrunner. And the most likely candidate… Scott Gimple! Here’s AMC’s quote about the new blood:  “Gimple, whose previous writing credits include NBC’s Chase and ABC’s FlashForward, joined Walking Dead as a producer in Season 2 and was promoted to supervising producer for the current third season. He has penned five Dead episodes, including this season’s ‘Hounded.’”

Sounds like Gimple’s got plenty of experience with fast-moving ensemble shows, but the question remains as to how long he’ll last. So far, The Walking Dead’s showrunners have had the life expectancy of a Spinal Tap Drummer seeing as how this is the third showrunner in roughly as many seasons, so only time will tell if this change will stick.
