Last year, the first episode of the show’s fourth season was downloaded 500,000 times within sixteen hours of appearing on torrent sites.
This year, the programme will air in 125 countries within twenty-four hours of its initial US broadcast in an effort to curb piracy. (Oops.)
The fifth season of the wildly popular zombie show will contain sixteen episodes to be broadcast in two halves. The first half will air between now and December, while the second half will kick off in February 2015.
