Days Gone Bye (The Walking Dead)
Robert Kirkman, the creator of the eponymous series of comic books, considered the idea of creating a television show based on the comic series, but did not move forward. Frank Darabont expressed interest in developing the series for television. In January 2010, AMC formally announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series adapted from "The Walking Dead" comic book. In the announcement, the executives stated that Darabont would serve as writer, director, and an executive producer alongside Gale Anne Hurd.
Telltale Games
Telltale released the second episode of four of "The Walking Dead: The Final Season" as scheduled on September 25, 2018, and stated that it had been contacted by "multiple potential partners" to help bring the last two episodes of the series to completion in some manner. However, while some fans of the series were happy about this news, others, including Cory Barlog, suggested that Telltale should prioritize finding ways to pay the let-go developers over finishing off the game. Two anonymous sources speaking to Ethan Gach of "Kotaku" clarified that Telltale was trying to convince potential development partners to hire the staff Telltale had laid off so the staff could remotely finish the two remaining episodes of "The Walking Dead: The Final Season". During the 2018 New York Comic Con, Robert Kirkman, the creator of "The Walking Dead" comic, stated that his production company Skybound Entertainment completed negotiations with Telltale to finish off the last two episodes of "The Final Season" through their Skybound Games division and with the original development team from Telltale.
