I broke the news RIGHT HERE at the end of July that the second season of The Walking Dead will be starting on Tuesday 18 October in South Africa on FX (TopTV 110) and that is now confirmed by Fox International Channel (FIC).
''Once again, a few hours after the [American] premiere Sunday 16 October, FIC will begin its second season rollout on Tuesday 18 October,'' says FIC that runs the FX channel in South Africa.
''The Walking Dead audience wants to see this show live,'' says Sharon Tal Yguado, the senior vice president of scripted programming for FIC. ''The first season became a hyped global water cooler event and we feel obligated to bring the show to international viewers' right after its American launch''.
''We're pleased to bring first run content to Africa so fast,'' says Thandi Davids, Fox Africa director. ''The show has performed exceptionally well for us in this market and we know viewers are in for a further excellent zombie invasion with lots more drama, this time around.''
