VIDEO : 'The Walking Dead' Fans Launch Petition To Fire Showrunner

Fans of AMC's 'The Walking Dead' have launched an online petition calling for the firing of showrunner Scott Gimple and the return of Chandler Riggs' character Carl Grimes. Many fans were upset by the show's extreme deviation from the comic book source material when Carl revealed a bite mark to his father in the final moments of the show's 2017 run. Now, a petition for the firing of showrunner Gimple has earned over 26,000 signatures on Change.org. The petition states: "Chandler has been working on the Walking Dead since 2010, spending almost half of his life on the show. Gimple gave no explination as to why Chandler was killed off other than that it was because of 'the story.'"
