AMC and Netflix have teamed up to bring a variety of popular shows from the cable network to the streaming platform starting this summer. The deal includes a range of series such as Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Preacher, A Discovery of Witches, Into the Badlands, Kevin can F*** Himself, Dark Winds, Gangs of London, Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, Monsieur Spade, That Dirty Black Bag, and The Terror. These shows will be available on Netflix from August 19 for a year.
In addition to these shows, the first seasons of The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will be added to Netflix on January 13. What’s great for viewers on a budget is that these AMC shows can be watched ad-free, even for those on Netflix’s ad-supported standard plan. This means uninterrupted viewing of these popular series.
AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan mentioned that these curated titles are strategically timed to generate interest in the current and upcoming seasons of their shows on various platforms. This collaboration with Netflix is expected to boost viewership and engagement on the streaming platform, as well as increase awareness of AMC’s award-winning content on other platforms within their distribution ecosystem.
Furthermore, AMC has also secured a deal to bring Fear the Walking Dead and other content to the Max streaming audience in 2023. This move comes as AMC+ has gained 11.5 million subscribers as of May 2024, showing the growing popularity of their streaming service.
Overall, this partnership between AMC and Netflix brings a wide range of popular shows to a larger audience, providing viewers with more options for quality entertainment. The availability of these shows on Netflix, along with the ad-free viewing experience, is sure to appeal to fans of these beloved series. With the addition of more AMC content in the future, viewers can look forward to even more exciting collaborations between these two entertainment giants.
