Stephen Kandel, the prolific screenwriter whose work over four decades in television spanned Sea Hunt to Star Trek, Batman to Barnaby Jones and Mannix to MacGyver, has died. He was 96.
Kandel died Oct. 21 of natural causes in his Boston apartment, his daughter Elizabeth Englander told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kandel also wrote multiple episodes of such shows as The Millionaire, The Rogues, Gidget, I Spy, Ironside, The Wild Wild West, It Takes a Thief, Dan August, The New Mike Hammer, Mission: Impossible, Room 222, The Magician, Medical Center, Cannon, Hawaii Five-o and Hart to Hart.
Plus, he co-created Iron Horse, a 1966-68 drama from ABC and Screen Gems that starred Dale Robertson, as a gambler turned railroad baron, Gary Collins and Ellen Burstyn.
“His résumé reads like a Baby Boomer’s dream list of must-see TV,” Tom Weaver wrote in his 2005 book, Earth vs. the Sci-Fi Filmmakers.

The Flash has had a funny relationship with the Rogues over its first four seasons. The group of supervillains that plague the Scarlet Speedster’s life in the comics have occasionally teamed up on the show but usually they appear separately as villains-of-the-week. In season 5, though, we could see the next generation of Central City’s worst criminals.
During The Flash panel at San Diego Comic-Con, showrunner Todd Helbing promised that a new group of Rogues was coming. “We will be doing a younger version of The Rogues,” he said, before explaining that this is part of the big theme this year of legacy and what we leave behind us, and it turns out this also applies to the villains of the show.
