Although it might seem odd for one show to go through so many different showrunners, Robert Kirkman explained that this is somewhat common in television, saying that he regretted the fact that “The Walking Dead” showrunners had been the subject of so much attention given the “behind the scenes drama.” It’s worth noting that, at the time of this AMA, Angela Kang had not yet been named the active showrunner for Season 9 of “The Walking Dead,” though Kirkman has since gone out of his way to sing her praises as well.
“[Kang brings] youthful vitality and energy. She has a great voice. We’ve definitely seen it shine through over various episodes over the seasons,” Kirkman said to The Hollywood Reporter. “Having it come to the forefront is very exciting.”
It’s interesting that Kirkman emphasizes what Kang brings to the series to elevate it beyond its previous seasons because Kang had already been a staple of “The Walking Dead” for so many years, initally joining the show as a writer in Season 2 and then climbing her way up the ladder to showrunner. In any case, it’s clear that Kirkman is happy with the work of every showrunner “The Walking Dead” has had and the various ways they’ve breathed new life into the world that he created.
