"What I find is that we're very much on course with the philosophy we approached the show with," Darabont told MTV News at the New York Comic Con. "Which is, from the very first I always said to Robert Kirkman, 'I want to follow the narrative path you've laid out, but I want to take as many interesting detours and step off the path for a little bit as much as we can, as long as it feels organic to the overall."

"And that's exactly what we've done with the first six episodes and that's exactly where the show is headed. So no real surprises in that sense for me, because we're following through on what we said we'd do."

However, Hurd quickly shot down the rumours that the show has already been approved for another season: "I think we have to air first, and if the response is positive, which we're very hopeful of, then I think we'll be back next year with 13 episodes."

"I love internet rumors," added Darabont. "And then I love how surprised and hurt people are when you go, 'No, that's just a rumor,' — like the internet is the fountain of wisdom and truth."

"But we like rumors like that."
