For her part, she says that the show is using a Zoom-based writer's room which is surprisingly getting more accomplished, at a faster pace, than before. Working from home is perhaps something that writers of an apocalypse-themed show were uniquely prepared for, but Morgan's comments are illuminating and the unexpectedly positive changes could have ramifications for how TWD, if not television in general, proceeds once this crisis is over. Speaking of The Walking Dead and Zoom, AMC has released Zoom backgrounds featuring some of their most popular shows. That includes, of course, The Walking Dead, as well as Better Call Saul, Killing Eve, Dispatches from Elsewhere and more.

Kirkman believes he is owed, and is suing for, $690,000. This per TMZ, who managed to get an exclusive first look at some of the legal documents: TMZ uses extremely informal language, but the article seems to suggest that Kirkman is suing not a jury trial, but rather an injunction forcing Disruptor Beam to make good on their delinquent payments.
