For fans of “The Walking Dead” who are tired of commercials interrupting zombies chomping on human flesh, AMC has launched an advertising-free version of its channel for the low, low price of $4.99 a month.

The new service, dubbed AMC Premiere, will be available starting Thursday as an add-on for Comcast Corp. cable subscribers. The channel is primarily an on-demand service; however, subscribers also will be able to watch new episodes of AMC shows when they debut on the linear channel without commercials.
