TWD has also squashed worldwide ratings records for original series, with Fox International Channels screening the show in 120 countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East.

"I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one," FIC senior VP Sharon Tal Yguado said.

No-brainer zombies FTW!
