Fear The Walking Dead UK & US TV Premiere Date

by Dave Elliott

The series premieres on AMC Global in the UK, however, as few people have that channel, we track the Prime Video premiere date too. The series episodes usually land to buy on normal (i.e. paid) Amazon the day after the US airing, and then come to Prime Video subscribers around 12-18 months later.

Thought I was going mad! It was definitely available when I posted.
Checked after I read your comment and sure enough it says to buy only.
Then I checked my watchlist and there it is! Hope this link helps.

Weird, I can watch it on that link but via my Sky Box it’s still showing as BUY , sure it’ll get sorted or I’ll link to the TV from my Chromebook. Thanks.

Since I started watching on my Chromebook it is now showing up to continue with it on my Sky Box. The option to BUY the series is still up as well but I’ll pass on that LOL,

Did for me too when I looked just now, but when you use this link – https://watch.amazon.co.uk/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.daed3871-024c-4b7a-8656-a8b691bbac50&territory=GB&ref_=share_ios_season&r=web – it plays… It’s weird, I’m not sure what’s going on!

Can watch on prime on my account, last season been slagged off so much though not sure I will bother

John edgington👤 Guest January 21, 2023 - 10:15 am

This season of ftwd is nearly unwatchable it is so bad, the reviews were right I am afraid, with the next season being the last I hope it gets better but not holding out much hope

John edgington👤 Guest December 31, 2022 - 9:14 am

Seems to be a bit of a glitch on Amazon with season 7, comes up as foreign language as previous poster said but when I clicked on to it, it played ok, next day it wanted payment for episode 3 but clicked on that and it worked ok with no payment taken out as far as I can see, not sure why I am bothering as reviews for this season have been pretty awful

Reply
Fearny✅ Member January 20, 2023 - 11:08 pm

I never thought of just trying it and seeing what happens. ?????
Anyway it’s showing as free now.

Richard L👤 Guest December 28, 2022 - 11:15 pm

Season 7 is now on Prime!

Reply
Dave F👤 Guest December 29, 2022 - 9:11 am

Except Ep3 wants payment to view!

Reply
Fearny✅ Member December 31, 2022 - 12:09 am

On my prime, the description of season 7 is in a foreign language??? Finnish I believe.
Still no episode 3 available either.

Reply
Fearny✅ Member January 20, 2023 - 11:06 pm

Episode 3 is now showing as free.

Sian👤 Guest November 15, 2022 - 11:59 am

Is there any way to watch season 7 ? I hate the fact I have to pay despite paying Amazon £9 a month already – yet have to pay £18 to watch this :( Will it ever become available under normal subs? Did this happen. to any of the other seasons does anyone know please?

Fearny✅ Member September 28, 2022 - 12:21 am

Fear the Walking Dead has been removed from Prime. I assume it will be coming to Disney+ at some point.

Reply
Dave Elliott👑 Admin September 28, 2022 - 12:38 am

Not impossible but unlikely. Nothing has been confirmed at the moment, but AMC has talked about launching the AMC+ streaming service in Europe in 2023. A lot of the newer AMC shows (Tales of the walking dead, Vampire Chronicles etc…) have not been appearing on other networks, and existing one like Fear seem to be dropping off places like Prime. It’s possible that is AMC reclaiming and holding their shows in preparation to launch their own service next year. I stress, this is pure speculation at the moment, but it does line up as a possibility.

Fearny✅ Member September 28, 2022 - 9:24 am

Ah ok. I assumed it would go to Disney+ like TWD but looks like it’s a little more complicated than that.

Fearny✅ Member October 6, 2022 - 10:15 pm

Seasons 1-6 back on Prime.

Reply
Rachael👤 Guest July 5, 2021 - 1:40 pm

Any idea when series 6 is going to be on amazon

Reply
Sue👤 Guest July 24, 2021 - 5:03 pm

I would like to know this too, thought it was meant to be when the season had finished? But to my knowledge as I type this it still isn’t available not unless you pay for it!?

Season 4 was amazing. When is season 5 on prime?

Reply
Dave Elliott👑 Admin February 26, 2020 - 6:23 pm

Don’t know yet. It was May last year, so hopefully will be around then again in 2020.

Reply
Lea👤 Guest May 19, 2019 - 8:43 am

Season 4 is up on prime again as of May 18 let’s hope it’s not a error again

My parents remember a time when TV was free apart from the licence fee, I remember a time when TV was free apart the licence fee and the subscription, but now you have to pay on top, it’s unbelievable, i.e. I invest my time in watching 3 seasons of 12 monkeys on SYFY only to have to pay to watch the final season on DVD or Netflix or some dodgy streaming site.

Reply
Neil Gray👤 Guest May 11, 2019 - 9:25 am

Why SyFy did show 12 monkey season 3 shown all the 10 esp over a weekend

Reply
Dan👤 Guest January 29, 2022 - 5:06 pm

You’ve always had to pay on top since Sky TV started if you wanted to watch TV shows that weren’t on Freeview or “Channels 1-5”. If someone who likes US shows didn’t pay for Sky TV in 2010 then they would have been missing out on a huge number of US TV shows that were pay TV exclusive back then.

If you didn’t pay you had to do without and make do with whatever was on Freeview. The only difference today is that many US shows have moved to streaming services which are replacing the likes of Sky TV.

Watched the first two episodes on prime yesterday no problems, then went to watch 3rd episode and it not on prime anymore, phoned Amazon and no joy, back on pay per episode till they decide in their infinite wisdom to put it back on prime again, very annoying!!

Reply
Lea👤 Guest April 1, 2019 - 11:08 am

Season 4 up on prime 1st April

Reply
Dave Elliott👑 Admin April 1, 2019 - 1:37 pm

It’s not on Prime (I made the same mistake looking at it today). It is now on Amazon Video to buy, but not free as part of the Prime subscription yet.

Reply
Lea👤 Guest April 1, 2019 - 2:00 pm

Mines got the prime bit over the corner of it which is weird it’s been up to buy since it start

Reply
Dave Elliott👑 Admin April 1, 2019 - 2:09 pm

Weird… Mine is prime up to S3, then to buy for S4 still at the moment.

Geektown👤 Guest April 1, 2019 - 4:14 pm

Ah, it looks like it was set to Prime Video for a brief period this morning, then they turned it off again, so that was apparently an error annoyingly.

Yes, i’ve updated the listing now, as it was confusing people. It is on Amazon Video to buy, not on Prime yet.

Fear was f*cken amazing this week, especially when we saw the dark side of Madison as she locked Celia in with the Infected :O

My favorite part was when the mansion went up in flames, because now they’re all split up and it’s going to make the next second half very interesting. BTW, I don’t think Daniel is dead.
