2013-07-23_2117FX has confirmed it will fast-track Season 4 of The Walking Dead to Australia the same day as the US broadcast, Monday October 14 .

The zombie series will hit 120+ markets in the same week.

In this post-apocalyptic world, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his band of survivors continue their ongoing struggle to survive the threat of walkers as well as the dangers that lurk among the living. A 16 episode season of the series will air in two-parts with the first eight hours kicking off the week of October 13th and returning February 2014 with the final eight episodes.

The zombie drama continues to break ratings records both domestically and worldwide across FIC’s 200 entertainment channels in 122 countries. Internationally Season 3 consistently ranked as the number one show on pay-tv, beating out all other competition in major markets and over-performing all prior season averages.

In the highly anticipated new season, we find Rick and the group fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison. Sadly, in this brutal world, happiness is short-lived and walkers and outside threats are no match for danger brewing inside the fences. The group’s home and new way of life will be thoroughly tested, and their struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 4 also introduces several new characters including Bob Stookie (Lawrence Gilliard Jr., The Wire).

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, The Walking Dead stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Scott Wilson, Melissa McBride, David Morrissey, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, Chad Coleman and Sonequa Martin-Green. The series is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Tom Luse and Greg Nicotero.

The Series has garnered two Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up, a Golden Globe® Award nomination for Best Television Series- Drama and a WGA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Writing Derivative New Media, among other accolades.

  3. Of course they’ll fast-track it.
    Otherwise people will take matters into their own hands.
    Downside is that FX have commercial breaks within their shows, so we don’t watch FX.

  4. I’m looking forward to this show more than any other. I don’t tend to gravitate to violent shows, but this one is different. It’s got a a good cast, interesting story and valid struggle for survival which just keeps me riveted.

  5. Awesome, this means it will air for about 8 weeks then go on a 2 month hiatus because the US will be in there Christmas Holiday low ratings season and will be taking a break, which means once again there will be less new programming on Foxtel over the Summer… Just like last year.
