“Securing the exclusive streaming rights to The Walking Dead is another exciting development for us," said Chris Bird, director of film strategy at Lovefilm.
“It is seriously impressive that the show has become one of the most-watched drama series in basic US cable history, and a real testament to its quality. We are thrilled to bring this great content to our members, especially as we are the only subscription service in the country to do so.”
Season four of The Walking Dead will premiere in the UK this autumn on Fox. Sky subscribers could previously watch The Walking Dead via the on-demand section of their service. Whether this will remain when Season 4 premieres remains to be seen, but right now there is no Walking Dead on Sky’s catch up.
