This further closing of the broadcasting gap for the 4th season of The Walking Dead marks the smallest window of lag time for the show yet which unspooled episodes of the previous three seasons within days on FOX in South Africa.
With the FOX channel which was added to MultiChoice's DStv platform, it also marks the first time that South African viewers with DStv will be able to watch brand-new episodes of The Walking Dead in high definition (HD).
The Walking Dead's 4th season will start on FOX in South Africa on 14 October at 22:00 (South African time) with Fox International Channels (FIC) saying that it remains committed "to broadcast the series as near to the United States premiere as possible".
The 4th season's 16 episodes of The Walking Dead will once again in two parts, with the first 8 episodes of the zombie drama starting on 14 October, and the second 8 episodes returning in February 2014.
The 4th season of The Walking Dead will introduce new characters such as Bob Stookie (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) as the group of human survivors living inside the prison walls combat new dangers and zombies.
