A Very Long Wait for ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 7B at Netflix; 8 Eps for Season 7A Now Available
'The Walking Dead' season 7A has just recently concluded and it looks like fans still want more zombie goodness as they await for season 7B not on TV but on Netflix. But it's close to impossible to look for 'The Walking Dead' season 7B online because the next half of season 7 will still premiere in February 2017. Fans would just have to be contended with the initial 8 episodes of season 7 now available on Netflix.
Inquisitr explains that Netflix usually airs the episodes of the previous season about two weeks before the next season starts. This means that if fans would like to watch season 7B using Netflix, they have to wait around October 2017 to do so. Season 7B would have around 7 episodes more to release plus a break afterwards. Only then will Netflix users finally watch the season 7B episodes.
Cinema Blend on the other hand has also made a similar report regarding the release of season 6 episodes via Netflix. The report confirms the pattern for releasing episodes per season and yes, there is a two week time-frame after the previous season was aired. This way, viewers can binge watch the past episodes to get ready for the next season which will be featured on television.
Meanwhile there are reports that 'The Walking Dead' season 7 is getting less viewers for its midseason finale compared to season 6. From 20.8 million viewers in season 6, only 15.6 viewers watched season 7 midseason finale. Reports say that this could be due to a number of factors.
Viewers may be tired of following the story from a number of angles (communities) or viewers may have missed their favorites Abraham and Glenn who were killed in the first episode of season 7A. Fans may have also grown tired of Negan's ramblings or how Rick has helplessly bowed down to the antagonist.
But no matter what the reason may be, fans would have to wait till February 12, 2017 for season 7B of 'The Walking Dead' on AMC.
