FOX Movies Premium to Air Walking Dead Season Three

HONG KONG: Season two of The Walking Dead returns to FOX Movies Premium in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia on March 9, and will be back for a third season later this year of 16 fresh episodes.

The Walking Dead‘s season two premiere in the U.S. delivered 7.3 million viewers last October. The U.S. midseason premiere surpassed that, with a record-breaking 8.1 million total viewers. This ranks as the strongest telecast for any drama in U.S. basic cable history.

In Asia, the season two premiere on STAR Movies—now known as FOX Movies Premium—last October broke ratings records. The season two midseason premiere tomorrow is expected to deliver similarly strong viewership. The channel can also confirm that the show’s third season will air later this year exclusively on FOX Movies Premium in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
