Darabont reportedly couldn't handle the television series format and burned out. I'm not concerned about it - the show may have been his baby but he only directed the pilot. His role was largely as executive producer: making decisions, hiring writers, just hanging back really. I doubt he'll be completely out of the picture, though. He's got some clout - enough to be able to throw hissy fits, walk off and come back when he calms down.
