I think Sky have bought total rights to the show, so they have it whether it aired for 20 episodes or runs to 200 episodes. I don't think they've bought it "by season". If they had "by season" then I'd get worried since BT would get the rights.
Fox International Channels distribute the show internationally, FOX in the UK air The Walking Dead and will continue to do so, hopefully the day after US transmission.
Hi there, not up to date with this thread but was away for the weekend and thought I was coming home to 2 more episodes of The Walking dead to find None! didn't know the series had come to an end, Shock horrer! so i watched the last episode and which I thought I had watched but realised I had probably fallen a sleep watching it last and when it finished it felt like the series was over, Rick had just shot the wife beater as a person from an old episode reappeared!
I read that they have a multi season deal so it looks like if it ever does come to sky then it'll be a very long way off. A very strange decision to just have it on bt. I certainly won't be getting that just for one show.
One of the reasons i wanted to see this was it would be explained how the virus happened but since it isn't gonna be I've slightly gone off it. Plus the fact I don't have bt anyway so won't be able to see it unless I find other ways which I doubt I'll even bother doing.
This is plain stupid why not just show it on FOX UK? It's just going to alienate those who have followed the show from the start. .They're not even going to show it relatively after each ep airs in the U.S. Basically just pushing viewers to stream it

Sort of, although it's set at the beginning of the apocalypse.
I don't like the name though.
Says airing in August on AMC. Doesn't say when exactly or if it will be the same for UK.

Based on what i've just seen what a load of crap! Is that the best they can do?
You're actually basing your opinion on a 20-30 second teaser?
Wait until the series airs then pass judgement.
I was referring solely to the teaser. I thought it was extremely poor. Some half naked teen running down a road. Piss-poor!

AMC are launching a UK version of the channel and it will show FTWD but if it isnt an HD channel....

cant believe its not going to be able to watch in hd
This is 2015, shouldn't all channels be HD? More so on channels that feature big budget productions SD just doesn't cut it.
I don't care about the hd, but I won't see it until it's out on dvd anyway, I guess, as i don't have bt.
Looks like I'll have to find it elsewhere.
