UK fans of The Walking Dead will soon have a dedicated streaming destination as a new channel launches on ITVX this month. The Walking Dead Channel will offer round-the-clock access to the complete series, including all 11 seasons of the flagship show and its various spin-offs.
What the Channel Offers
The channel will feature the entire main series, along with spin-offs such as Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and Tales of the Walking Dead. It will also include exclusive content, behind-the-scenes features, and marathons of key episodes. The launch is part of a broader deal between ITV and AMC Networks to bring more AMC content to the UK streaming service.
Availability and Access
The Walking Dead Channel will be available exclusively on ITVX, the UK's free streaming service, from 27 November. Viewers can access it via the ITVX app on smart TVs, mobile devices, and web browsers. The channel will be free to watch with adverts, or ad-free for ITVX Premium subscribers.
According to ITV, the channel will be updated regularly with new content, including episodes from the final season of Fear the Walking Dead and the upcoming spin-off The Walking Dead: Dead City. The move aims to capitalize on the show's enduring popularity in the UK, where it has a large fanbase.
Impact on Viewers
This dedicated channel provides a convenient way for fans to binge-watch the entire saga without switching between platforms. It also offers new viewers an easy entry point into the franchise. The launch underscores the growing trend of streaming services creating branded channels to retain subscribers and attract niche audiences.
ITVX has been expanding its content library since its launch, and this partnership with AMC strengthens its position as a destination for premium drama. The Walking Dead Channel is expected to draw significant viewership, especially among horror and sci-fi enthusiasts.
