The Walking Dead is an appropriate title for a show, super-sized to 11 seasons and a spin-off way, waaay after it jumped the shark (right around the introduction of Negan season 6). TWD now ubiquitously draws zombie-level rerun viewing across AMC Plus, Netflix, Pluto TV and other streaming platforms across television's disrupted, post-apocalyptic plains.
So enduring has this creative husk of a once-alive creative TV enterprise been that AMC Networks has now turned the franchise into almost the equivalent of a live sport, building a FAST channel that has nothing but cast members and pundits chatting about "The Walking Dead Universe" 24/7, sans any actual episodes.
Sign the bargain-hunting Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment and its Redbox Free Live TV FAST service up.
The Chicken Soup's Redbox-branded streaming platform has announced the addition of 12 free ad-supported channels from AMC Networks, including "The Walking Dead Universe" and "Portlandia" -- the latter at least featuring actual episodes from the Fred Armisen/Carrie Brownstein series about Portland living.
The addition pushes Redbox's channel count past the 180 mark, an all-important benchmark amid a FAST gold rush that currently measures the calories and not so much the vitamins and minerals. (Fiber is important, too, of course.)
Here are the AMC Networks channels being added to Redbox Free Live TV. Log lines courtesy of AMC and Chicken Soup:
