If you’ve got Netflix streaming, get ready for the undead to be part of your viewing experience.
Netflix and AMC signed a deal to bring The Walking Dead to the streaming service, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The multi-year deal will bring content from AMC and other channels to Netflix’s streaming service. The deal covers prior seasons of AMC’s original series The Walking Dead, which will be available exclusively to Netflix members in the U.S. and Canada. Season 1 of The Walking Dead will be available as of Friday. AMC previously struck streaming deals for its other hit shows Mad Men and Breaking Bad with Netflix.
Under the new arrangement, additional seasons of The Walking Dead and certain future AMC and Sundance Channel programming will be streaming instantly to Netflix members just prior to the premiere of subsequent seasons, the companies said.
Netflix has also licensed non-exclusive rights in the U.S. to select scripted and unscripted AMC Networks shows, which will also be made available just before the following season debut. This includes series from AMC, IFC, Sundance Channel and WE tv, such as Portlandia, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, Braxton Family Values, My Fair Wedding, Bridezillas, All On The Line with Joe Zee and Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys.
The companies didn’t disclose financial details of the arrangement.
