The Walking Dead is currently not available on Hulu. However, Hulu subscribers do have access to Fear The Walking Dead prior to each season’s network premiere!
Online streaming service Hulu acquired the exclusive subscription video on demand rights to new and upcoming primetime scripted series from AMC (as well as IFC, BCC America, SundanceTV and WE tv).
That means they’ll be getting a whole host of new comedies and dramas, but most notably: The Walking Dead companion series Fear the Walking Dead!
Hulu’s Chief Executive Officer had this to say: “AMC Networks has an incredible reputation and track record in producing captivating storytelling across a variety of genres for true connoisseurs of television. This huge partnership guarantees that Hulu viewers will soon be able to enjoy the newest slate of premium programming from some of the top cable networks.”
A date has not yet been announced as to when the content will be available on the site.
Oh man! How many of you are Hulu users? Will you be using it to refresh yourself before new seasons of FEAR? Comment and let us know!
Hulu is horrible crappy video quality and paying for ads no thanks, I’m better off getting it on blu ray.
Hey guys, just to be clear, since I’m seeing some confusion on Twitter: this deal looks to just cover FEAR THE WALKING DEAD and it sounds like it will be on Hulu right before a new season airs, very similar to the release pattern for THE WALKING DEAD on Netflix. If we hear different from our peeps at AMC we’ll update.
I’m a Hulu subscriber. Fuck, I subscribe to way too many services.
Crazy it’s going to be up BEFORE the network premieres. Does Hulu do that with any other show?
No, before the NEXT season airs. So season 1 will be up before season 2 airs. Similar to the current Netflix model with TWD. AMC owns the show themselves so no way they’d offer it up somewhere else first.
Ah ha! I don’t know why that was so confusing to me.
Insomniac.
Now that I just read what Lizzy wrote again, makes total sense. This is what happens when I “read” articles while I’m “working.”
I haven’t used hulu in a long time. OnDemand & Netflix keep me pretty loaded up. Besides, I’ll be tuning into this as it airs.
Girl, I watch a sick amount of TV these days. That’s what happens when you never sleep!
I’ve gone back to my novel reading… but I get up so damn early, so my night-owling has gotten scarce.
We still need to have our The Road discussion but I think you and I are the only ones who finished it!
I was waiting on it, too! Would love to do Bonansinga’ s upcoming “Invasion” but everybody needs to get caught up!
I’m going to have to lay the book club smack down on the crew.
Wait, we were reading the Road?
Oh, Carly, you got a bolt cutter that might work on a certain chain that a certain wrecking ball is swinging on?
StuartO you’re the first to be smacked!
Smacketh cometh!
I’m so pissed that new episodes on season 5 of Fear The Walking Dead are not available! I think I’ll have to get rid of Hulu and get Sling before The Walking Dead starts up again. This is crap!
They’re available on philo.com. It costs $20/month but I it for when The Walking Dead comes back. Also has Fear and Talking right now.
