The Walking Dead‘s New Showrunner Assures Us That He Will Handle The Walking Dead Just Fine

“There’s been all this concern that I’m going to f*ck up this show, and really, we’re just trying to get it done.” — Glen Mazzara, the news showrunner of AMC‘s The Walking Dead, to TV Guide, talking about how well he’s handling the duties of running the critically-acclaimed show. He went on to say that breaking the news of the transition to the cast was “rough”: “There’s an emotional connection to Frank [Darabont] that they’re never going to have to another writer/producer.” However, Mazzara says that Darabont gave him his blessing when he left, so despite the pressure of living up to someone like Frank Darabont, there was a lot of faith involved here.

No pressure, Glen Mazzara! We’re pretty sure you’ll do a swell job!
