Walking Dead the franchise continues to have strong success on AMC. It is one of the main projects that keep the network thriving. It’s the most valuable property they own and they don’t plan on giving it up anytime soon.
Independently, Walking Dead Creator Robert Kirkmann I’d like to make a faithful animated series someday, but until he gets the rights back from AMC, that won’t happen.
When asked about an animated series, Kirkman explained, “I would love to see it happen one day, but I don’t think it will be possible until I get the rights back from AMC.”
He added: “There have definitely been developments over the years for something like this, and there are a lot of fans here who would still very much like to see that happen.”
The closest thing to an animated series we got was an eight-minute motion comic released in 2010 and adapted 13 pages from Walking Dead #1 by Kirkman and artist Tony Moore.
AMC also played with comic book-style animation in an animated segment of the webisode series The Walking Dead: Red Machete. those of the AMC Walking Dead Responsible for the contents of the universe Scott M. Gimple has expressed interest in using animation in potential future episodes of the anthology spinoff Tales of the walking deadbut nothing ever happened.
I wouldn’t mind seeing an animated adaptation of Walking Dead! I think there’s fantastic potential there, but if AMC doesn’t do it, it’ll be a long time before Kirkman is able to do it.
