The Walking Dead Season 5 Now Available On Netflix

Just two weeks ahead of new episodes showing up on October 11, the fifth season of the massively-successful AMC drama is now available to stream on Netflix.

It's hard to picture many of the show's big fans waiting to binge on it, since it's the definition of appointment television. The Walking Dead blows up social media so much every week that nearly every major plot point is spoiled before it airs on the West Coast, let alone when the show comes out on Blu-ray (a few weeks ago) or on Netflix.

Still, if you (for whatever reason) wait for the opportunity to binge, now's the time.

The Walking Dead joins Gotham and a number of other geek-friendly releases on Netflix's September release calendar.
