NOW TV has enlisted the help of British comedy legend John Cleese to remind The Walking Dead fans of the story so far.

The seventh season of the hit post-apocalyptic show premieres at 9pm on Monday 24 October on FOX.

Since the first episode aired in 2010, The Walking Dead has served up 83 episodes and 252 deaths.

Cleese commented: “I can’t get enough of The Walking Dead. The beautiful scenery, the emotional depths of the characters, and most of all, the gentle sprinkling of horrific barbarism. Hopefully fans will think the video is dead funny, and if not, I might just have to introduce them to Lucille personally.”

Watch the recap…

Season 6’s finale ended on a nail-biting cliff-hanger, with Negan deciding which of the eleven characters should meet a timely death at the hands of Lucille. NOW TV is asking fans to share who they’re hoping will survive in order to win Walker-inspired prizes; just follow the hashtag #SaveThemNOW on both Twitter and Facebook to join in.

Fans can watch The Walking Dead contract free with the NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass for just £6.99 per month.
