“The Walking Dead is one of our most successful shows in Asia on FOX. We have millions of fans across the region eagerly awaiting the new season, and we’re excited to provide them with a real-life

The Walking Dead experience, in which they collaborate with one another as part of this year’s ambitious stunt.

We’re confident this exhilarating experience complements the Season 8 launch and The

Walking Dead’s 100th episode perfectly.”

The Walking Dead, one of the world’s most watched dramas, returns for a terrifying and exhilarating series, consisting of 16 episodes. In the highly-anticipated eighth season, Rick brings all-out war to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better equipped and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive. Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and his group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild.

As with any battle, there will be losses and casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.

The Walking Dead is also available on demand on FOX+, FNGA’s newlylaunched video-streaming service. Binge watch Season 1 to 7 anytime, anywhere on FOX+ in preparation for Season 8.
