If you've been under the proverbial rock or sequestered in a jury for the last four months, you may be amongst the ten people that don't know The Walking Dead returns for season 7 this Sunday night, after one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time. As a true television event, the season 7 premiere will reveal who Negan killed and begin the storyline of Negan and his Saviors in earnest - but it is only broadcast on AMC, and only to cable TV subscribers, right?

Well, the website CutCableToday has compiled a guide to how you can watch the premiere without paying a hefty cable bill, from new no-contract streaming services to pay as you go services.

Streaming services like Sling TV and PlayStation Vue are over-internet live TV options that seek to replace traditional cable and satellite services. Both of these services offer month to month, no contract live TV streaming, so you can pick up a package today and start streaming on a variety of devices. Sling's lowest package with AMC included is $20/month, while PlayStation Vue's lowest package with AMC is $30. Both are streamable on a variety of devices, so chances are you have a couple electronics compatible with each already at home.

If you don't mind waiting a day (which, with the nature of this particular episode we can't advise doing), you can pick up the episode on Amazon or iTunes Monday morning, for $3. Both offer a season pass, as well, if you want to own every episode. Other devices like the Xbox store and PlayStation Network also offer up the episodes a day after air. For the premiere, to drive more eyeballs, AMC.com will be offering just the first episode as a free streaming option on your computer, also on Monday. Subsequent episodes, though, won't have that as an option.

Finally, you can catch up or just rewatch the finale on Netflix, which has all six seasons so far available for streaming today. Season 7 should go up, too, a couple of weeks before Season 8 premieres - so if you really love binge watching, you have a year until you'll see it there.

The Walking Dead is also, of course, available on most major satellite and Cable outlets, but getting one of those installed today is a virtual impossibility.

Season 7 of The Walking Dead kicks off Sunday night at 9 p.m. / 8 Central, in an episode titled "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be." Follow ComicBook.com on twitter and facebook for extensive coverage throughout the day and evening of this landmark episode.
