TV Line reported on April 18 that due to a contract dispute the role of "Z Nation\'s" Murphy, the hybrid human/zombie character, may be recast. Apparently producers of the popular Syfy undead drama have issued a casting call. The character of Murphy, played by Keith Allan, is definitely a fan favorite and hopefully the issue can be resolved without recasting.

Den of Geek mentioned that if the contract disagreements can\'t be resolved that "Z Nation" producer, The Asylum, will be looking to recast the role before production of the third season begins on May 1. Fans of the show will undoubtedly have something to say about this unsettling development, and changing a character at any time within a series is not something to be taken lightly.

Syfy referred all questions about Allan to The Asylum, and TV Line stated that the production company did not respond to multiple requests for a comment on the situation. An attempt was also made to reach Allan\'s personal rep, but again there was no response. Since neither side is currently willing to provide any new information or comments, only time will tell if Allan will be leaving "Z Nation."

Perhaps by introducing a new bad guy, some of the attention can be diverted if someone new is indeed cast to play the role of Murphy. "Z Nation" creator Karl Schaefer shared that viewers can expect to see what he describes as "the bounty hunter of all bounty hunters." The bounty hunter works for Zona and unsuccessfully goes after the elusive Murphy. Not one to accept defeat, the bounty hunter decides to turn his attention to Murphy\'s cute little zombie daughter, Lucy.

What do you think about this unsettling news? Could replacing Keith Allan as Murphy hurt the series? Leave your comments, thoughts and opinions below. Although Syfy has announced the return of "Z Nation" for 2016, no air date has been set at this time.
