I glued myself to the TV thinking The
Walking Dead season 4 will premiere tonight. Few hours after, I got the Press
Release from FOX that it will be on October 19 at 8:55 PM followed by the premiere
of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD and Sleepy Hollow at 9:50
PM and 10:45 PM, respectively.
I’m also became more excited that there will be a Zombie Ball at the Terrace of Maxims Hotel, Resorts World just before the actual
screening.
The three shows are among the most
highly anticipated series in the US, each owning a distinct fan base as TV
adaptations of successful comic book and movie franchises.
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 3 finale and reigns the
most watched series in PayTV history.
I even promoted the books and TV
series of The Walking Dead on different social websites and forums as part of my
Marketing Job with a US Online company.
To those who might have missed the
3 previous seasons. FOX will treat you to a four-day channel takeover,
Countdown To The Zombie Apocalypse. Starting on October 15 at 11:40
PM until October 19 at 8:55 PM. It
will be non-stop right up until the Season 4 premiere, giving the
ultimate chance for FOX viewers to catch up with the latest developments in the
series.
Meanwhile, Marvel’s Agents
of S.H.I.E.L.D. is created by Joss Whedon, director of Marvel’s The
Avengers, along with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. The series
chronicles the experiences of Agent Phil Coulson, from The Avengers (the
highest-grossing film of 2012), as he puts together a team under the Strategic
Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) that
encounters and profiles superhumans in the world. It expands the Marvel
universe with new characters and adventures, portraying ordinary people put in
extraordinary circumstances and placed smack dab in the middle of the epic
battle between good and evil.
Clark Gregg reprises his role as
Agent Phil Coulson, a character loved by hardcore Marvel fans as well as fans
of The Avengers. Gregg is joined by Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton,
Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge, who play Coulson’s
fellow agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. Produced by Disney and Marvel, the series
promises the high-level action and storytelling for which the films have been
highly acclaimed and loved by viewers around the world over the years.
Sleepy Hollow is a modern-day
retelling of the American short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by
Washington Irving. The TV series tells of how Ichabod Crane dies in 1781 after
he kills the Headless Horseman, but mysteriously awakens again in 2013 to find
that the Horseman is again wreaking havoc in the town of Sleepy Hollow. He
partners with Lt. Abbie Mills to stop the evil being from murdering more people
and sparking the return of dark, supernatural forces to the earth. Sleepy
Hollow premiered on September 16, 2013 in the US and scored a massive 10
million viewers, which bodes well for the Philippine and Asian premiere on October
19.
October 19 is the night to
stay addicted to FOX as it shows not one but three long-awaited series
premieres!
