Fear the Walking Dead, Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire, and more shows are headed to next month.
AMC and Netflix have struck a deal to bring 13 AMC series to the popular streaming platform for one year, beginning next month. All 13 series will begin streaming on Netflix on August 19, 2024.
Per Variety, the deal includes The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1, Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire Season 1, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Season 1, Monsieur Spade Season 1, A Discovery of Witches Season 1-3, Dark Winds Seasons 1-2, Fear the Walking Dead Seasons 1-8, Gangs of London Seasons 1-2, Into the Badlands Seasons 1-3, Kevin Can F**k Himself Seasons 1-2, Preacher Seasons 1-4, That Dirty Black Bag Season 1, and The Terror Season 1.
Additionally, it was announced that The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Season 1 will begin streaming on Netflix on January 13, 2024.
AMC made a similar move in 2023 when it sent Fear the Walking Dead and a handful of other series to Max for two months. “A source close to the studio indicates that the promo brought more attention to the series and drove traffic back to AMC’s platforms,” Variety’s article notes.
AMC Networks’ Kristin Dolan said, “This agreement puts our high-quality shows in front of the vast audience of Netflix subscribers with the AMC brand clearly represented. These curated titles are also being strategically windowed to drive interest in current and upcoming seasons on our direct-to-consumer and partner platforms. We believe this significant expansion of our Netflix relationship will drive viewership and engagement on Netflix, while also raising awareness and interest in our award-winning content on AMC-branded and partner platforms across our distribution ecosystem.”
