Binge a Season of ‘The Walking Dead’ Every Day in November on Sling Freestream
Revisit all of your favorite moments from the smash AMC series every day in November on The Walking Dead Universe channel.
Halloween is over, but if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, the horror is just beginning.
Every day in November, The Walking Dead Universe channel on Sling Freestream will be airing a full season of the original Walking Dead franchise. Beginning with the first season on Nov. 1, you can catch a marathon of every episode from all 11 seasons of the hit zombie series all day long. On Nov. 12, the first season begins again and the cycle repeats through the rest of the month. This is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the 10 hours of free DVR recordings you get as a Sling Freestream user.
If, like the show’s main character Rick, you’re just waking up from a coma, The Walking Dead is one of the most popular, enduring, and influential series of the 21st century. On its surface, TWD is a horror thriller, as a disparate group of survivors attempt to stay alive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. But beyond the scares, the AMC hit has had lasting power due to its themes around the darkness of human nature itself (the show’s title is not a reference to its zombies, a word which is never uttered by the show’s characters). It also predated Game of Thrones by six months, making it one of the first hit series that wasn’t afraid to kill off its main characters, forever altering the dramatic stakes of television as a whole.
If you’ve watched some of the series, or just need a reminder as to what happens in each season, here’s a quick refresher so you can jump back in:
Season 1: We meet the group of survivors, including series stalwarts Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Carol (Melissa McBride), and Glenn (Steven Yeun).
Season 2: The survivors take shelter at the Greene Family Farm, and tensions grow between Rick and Shane (Jon Bernthal, in his breakout role).
Season 3: The group finds refuge in a prison but is threatened by a nearby community that’s under control of a vicious and twisted “Governor.”
Season 4: Rick questions his leadership in the wake of a tragedy and the group splinters while searching for a new home.
Season 5: After escaping from Terminus, the group discovers a new sanctuary near Washington D.C.: The Alexandria Safe-Zone.
Season 6: The world of The Walking Dead continues to expand with the introduction of The Hilltop, along with a new threat calling themselves the Saviors.
Season 7: A brutal, fan-favorite villain is introduced: Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the leader of the Saviors and a character that will play an important role in the rest of the show’s run (and beyond).
Season 8: The various communities unite to launch an “all out war” on Negan and the Saviors.
Season 9: In the wake of the war with the Saviors, the communities must deal with a series of new dangers, including a threatening new group known as the Whisperers.
Season 10: Once again, communities must unite to end the threat of the Whisperers, while other characters struggle to find their footing in the new social hierarchy.
Season 11: The survivors come into conflict with a pair of new communities: the Commonwealth and the Reapers.
If none of this is ringing a bell, you’re missing out on one of the most intense and unpredictable series of the century so far.
