ITVX is set to launch a dedicated channel for The Walking Dead universe on September 28, 2024, giving fans access to all 11 seasons of the original series plus spin-offs such as Daryl Dixon and Dead City. The channel will be available on the ITVX streaming platform, a free ad-supported service in the UK.
What's included in the channel
The channel will feature the complete run of The Walking Dead, which aired from 2010 to 2022, along with its spin-offs: Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Tales of the Walking Dead, and the upcoming Daryl Dixon and Dead City series. According to ITV, the channel will also include exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interviews with cast and crew.
How to access
ITVX is a free streaming service, though some content may be ad-supported. The Walking Dead channel will be available on-demand, allowing viewers to watch episodes at any time. The launch coincides with the premiere of the second season of Daryl Dixon in the UK.
Impact on streaming landscape
This move brings a major franchise to a free-to-air platform, potentially attracting new viewers who haven't subscribed to premium services like Disney+ or Amazon Prime. ITVX has been expanding its library with curated channels to compete with other streaming giants. The Walking Dead remains one of the most-watched cable series in history, with over 17 million viewers at its peak in the US.
