MANILA, Philippines - Fans of the hit TV horror series The Walking Dead will be glued to their screens when its Philippine and Asian premiere of Season Four happens tonight at 8:55 on FOX.
The Walking Dead is based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, and has had a strong viewership over its last three seasons, garnering 12.4 million viewers for its Season Three finale. The audience for the third season finale was the show’s largest ever.
With the cliffhangers of last season’s finale, viewers are anticipating the premiere of Season Four to answer the questions left in their minds. Will the prison community survive without Rick’s leadership? Can Glenn and Maggie find happiness in such a cruel world? What does The Governor have planned for his revenge on Rick and his group of survivors?
Season Three saw the death of many long-running characters that had been on the show since Season One: T-Dog sacrificed himself to save Carol in a walker attack, Lori died while giving birth to Rick’s daughter, and Andrea, a fan favorite because of her strength and will to survive, had to kill herself after she was bitten by a reanimated Milton. In Season Four, viewers will find out what will happen to the remaining survivors as well as be introduced to a number of new characters who will significantly determine the course of the story.
