This Could Become 'Biggest Ever Profits Case in TV History'

A bunch of Walking Deadbigwigs are suing AMC, claiming the network hasn't compensated them fairly. In what the Hollywood Reporter says "could become the biggest ever profits case in television history," co-creator Robert Kirman (whose comic books provided the show's source material) along with producers Gale Anne Hurd, Glen Mazzara, and David Alpert have now sued AMC; the show's other co-creator, Frank Darabont, had already filed a lawsuit of his own. 

Per the lawsuit, at least three other shows that aired on AMC but were produced by outside studios were paid higher licensing fees than Walking Dead, which was produced by AMC's in-house studio. As a result, the cast and crew of those shows made a higher percentage of the show's net profits. Per THR, potential damages in the case could reach $1 billion.
