Nuked Hey there, my lovely followers! It’s your favorite funny tech guy, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news in the world of streaming. So, get ready because a whole bunch of AMC shows are heading to Max, and guess what? They’ll be ad-free! How cool is that?
In a move to generate some serious buzz, Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service, Max, will be hosting a selection of AMC Plus shows from September 1st to October 31st. This collaboration aims to give AMC Plus a boost while adding more fantastic content to Max. And let’s face it, with Hollywood strikes halting productions and AMC facing challenges in the cable space, both companies could use a little pick-me-up.
“This promotional arrangement with Warner Bros. Discovery is a terrific opportunity to serve up some of our most popular and critically acclaimed programming to millions of Max subscribers in the U.S. for two full months,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. And you know what’s even better? These AMC Plus series will have their own special section called “AMC+ Picks on Max” and, most importantly, they’ll be completely ad-free!
Now, we don’t know if the shows announced so far are the only ones coming to Max. I mean, I’m still waiting for clarification on that front. But fear not! We have some awesome series lined up, including Fear the Walking Dead (Seasons 1-7), Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire (Season 1), Dark Winds (Season 1), Gangs of London (Seasons 1-2), Ride with Norman Reedus (Seasons 1-5), A Discovery of Witches (Seasons 1-3), and Killing Eve (Seasons 1-4). That’s quite a lineup, don’t you think?
It’s no secret that AMC Plus has been struggling to grow its subscriber base in the highly competitive streaming world. And with cable TV slowly fading away, things haven’t been easy for them. In fact, their recent second quarter financial results were pretty disappointing, with a drop in subscriber count to just 11 million paying streamers instead of their goal of 20-25 million by 2025. Ouch!
But hey, they’ve got some fantastic shows under their belt, like The Walking Dead, Mad Men, and Hell on Wheels. Plus, they have their own original content and are backed by parent company AMC Networks, which owns popular cable channels like BBC America and IFC, as well as the horror streaming service Shudder.
In an effort to turn things around, AMC Plus will be launching an ad-supported tier in October. They’ve also partnered with The Roku Channel and are available as a subscription channel on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. But the real game-changer could be this collaboration with Max. With nearly 100 million subscribers, Max could bring a whole new audience to AMC Plus.
So, my friends, keep your eyes peeled for these awesome AMC shows on Max. And who knows? Maybe this will be the boost that both companies need. Until next time, stay funny and tech-savvy!
