The Walking Dead Universe: How to watch in the UK
The Walking Dead is constantly throwing surprises in the fan’s direction. Recently, we have been treated to a new promo from 11C which airs this fall. Here, we get another look at the exciting storylines ahead, but it is all still very cryptic.
Accompanying that was a new poster and official artwork for 11C featuring all of our protagonists ready to take on the Commonwealth. It looked awesome! It doesn’t end there as we were also treated to news on the new official title of Isle of the Dead, the Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) spin off, which is now The Walking Dead: Dead City. Wow!
However, there are many other things currently happening in the TWDU. One is the new spin off Tales of The Walking Dead featuring an all-star cast.
Exciting as that all is, it can be a struggle for UK fans to stream content, so where can we watch the best of what the undead world has to offer?
The Walking Dead Universe, UK viewing
As a huge fan of TWDU, I love to find new news about the shows and stay updated on them as much as possible. Of course, the best thing is to kick back and watch the content on offer. However, as a fan in the UK, it can be super tricky to access certain things.
For fans of the mothership show the good news is that since Fox TV UK came off of air a couple of years back, The Walking Dead can be streamed on Disney Plus. If you have a subscription, then you can enjoy streaming every episode and also catch the new eight from 11C coming to the platform each Monday from October 3. So, for every fan old and new, it is fairly easy to access The Walking Dead episodes.
Fear The Walking Dead graced our screens back in 2015 and what an amazing first spin off it was, and it still is just as engaging and amazing seven years later. With certain episodes being aired on BT TV, the easiest way to catch this epic series is via Amazon Prime UK. The newest season usually comes at a price to watch; however seasons one to six are free and when season eight is released seven will also become free – it really depends on how desperate you are to watch and if you’re willing to pay for newer seasons to watch as they drop in real-time.
Both of these shows can also be paid for on YouTube, Google Play and Movies, and Apple TV per episode. Alternatively, Amazon Prime UK has seasons one to ten of TWD for free with prime, and season eleven can be streamed for a little over twenty pounds. There are a good few options to look into!
However, when it comes to other content such as interviews, episode diaries, and behind the scenes on TWD YouTube channel, we cannot access these due to restrictions. It is always a shame when trying to watch content to see it isn’t possible and the only thing we can do is just wait for the official accounts to upload it onto social media or for someone to repost it. The same goes for content on AMC+ as we cannot sign up for this service as of yet – hopefully one day we can!
Mini-series like Dead in the Water can sometimes be uploaded on YouTube however usually get taken down if they go against the rules. But most mini-series can be streamed on YouTube. There is a full list of those here.
Details are still too vague to try and pinpoint where the new Daryl spin off and Dead City will be shown, but I assume if we will be lucky enough to stream them in the UK, it will be either Disney plus or Amazon Prime UK. I believe this will be the same for Tales of The Walking Dead as fans outside the US cannot yet stream this series and after asking Amazon, they don’t have any plans just yet to air it. Hopefully, this will change soon!
Another series now unable to watch in the UK is Talking Dead hosted by Chris Hardwick. This one is really gutting as when this was aired on Fox TV we could watch it after each episode. However, upon TWD’s move to Disney plus, that all got taken away and we can no longer watch or stream these come on guys let us in!
And last but not least, the limited two-season show The Walking Dead: World Beyond is free to stream on Amazon Prime UK. So it’s not all bad; we can still see some of TWDU! Let’s just hope soon it becomes a little more accessible.
But one thing is for sure, TWD will always be in the hearts of fans no matter how tough it can sometimes be to stream things. And what the future holds is looking pretty damn amazing. Let’s see what will happen next in this awesome Universe!
The Walking Dead Season 11 returns on October 2 on AMC, with subscribers of the AMC+ streaming service able to stream the first 2 episodes of 11C on October 2. UK viewers can catch the first episode of 11C on Star for Disney Plus on October 3.
