Although Netflix does not own AMC, the two studios reached an agreement for several AMC series to be available on the platform.

According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter, AMC has made a deal with Netflix to allow the streaming service to offer 13 original series to its subscribers beginning on August 19, 2024. Two additional series will also be made available in early 2025.

These projects include both the popular Interview with the Vampire on the internet and the less well-known Monsieur Spade.

It comes as no surprise that the studio would choose Netflix to feature some of its content, given the streaming platform’s massive success. For example, Breaking Bad was made available for streaming on Netflix prior to its Season 4 premiere in July 2013.

In 2011, Netflix users were able to fully immerse themselves in the zombie lifestyle with the addition of AMC’s hit show, The Walking Dead, to their streaming library. This was made possible through a multi-year agreement between Netflix and AMC Networks, cementing the series as one of the streaming platform’s top offerings.

On October 22, 2023, Netflix will become the new home for the entire Walking Dead universe, with the full launch of Fear the Walking Dead Seasons 1 to 8.

Other spinoffs of The Walking Dead, such as Fear the Walking Dead, can also be found on Netflix, with all eight seasons available.

The most recent addition to The Walking Dead franchise, titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, is currently streaming on Netflix, allowing fans to rewatch its events ahead of the premiere of Season 2: The Book of Carol on September 29, 2024.
