AMC NETWORKS BUILDS ON SUCCESSFUL DIGITAL ORIGINALS STRATEGY WITH FULL SLATE OF NEW AND RETURNING SHOWS
Produced by the Company’s Content Room, New Titles Leverage Popular AMC Networks Talent and Original Concepts Closely Aligned With Popular Scripted Series
NEW YORK, NY, April 6, 2022 – AMC Networks today announced that it is building on its successful digital originals strategy, with a new slate of shows that live alongside AMC Studios scripted series. These original series have successfully expanded the company’s programming slate for both fans and advertising partners by leveraging the massive series and talent fandoms built by its original programming. The digital originals are developed, produced and sold by the company’s Content Room. Each series will be powered by TEAL, AMCN’s recently announced suite of immersive digital ad products.
One example of the company’s success in this area is the popular franchise Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s, created and hosted by Colman Domingo of Fear the Walking Dead. The show that began as a digital short produced in the early days of the pandemic has grown to become an ongoing series featured across multiple digital and linear platforms and a podcast, all sponsored by Diageo.
This spring, the return of Better Call Saul for its sixth and final season will be joined by three digital original series displayed on a variety of platforms including the final installment of the Emmy®-winning employee training videos, an animated short-form series focused on the spirited childhood of Jimmy McGill in Cicero, IL, and original comedy Cooper’s Bar, starring fan favorite Rhea Seehorn,
“Our Content Room originals have been wildly successful for our audiences and our advertising partners,” said Kim Granito, executive vice president of the Content Room. “We are thrilled to come to this upfront with a full programming slate that utilizes our incredible talent roster and original IP in truly unique ways for our partners.”
The new slate of originals include:
You Are Here a travel show hosted by Colman Domingo of Fear the Walking Dead, who also hosts the popular Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s—an early example of the promise behind the strategy for Digital Originals.
In this unique take on a travel series, Colman brings viewers on a deeply personal journey through the places that made him. He will visit cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco and explore his personal stories of connection, while giving viewers a guided tour of these places as only he can.
Know A Guy is a show inspired by the familiar characters who have taught us when it comes to handling unconventional situations, it really helps to “know a guy,” or a guy who knows another guy. This series probes those “special” situations — from the impossible to the improbable, unique or unusual —where it helps to “know a guy.” From tracking down rare objects on short notice to dealing with unforeseen emergencies or sticky situations, these are the guys (and girls) you need to know.
As AMC prepares to premiere Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampireas its next franchise and universe later this year, Obsessed with the Vampire is a digital post-show companion for the scripted series that offers a one-of-a-kind episode discussion with superfan insights around looks, locales, design and all things vampire culture. The series will launch with Weekly Obsessions— a social content feature and companion one-of-a-kind curated late-night shop, only open during vampire hours—and will culminate in an end of the first season Obsessed with the Vampire special, unpacking every obsession worthy moment of the epic first season.
Also part of the Anne Rice universe, The Night Island is a digital original about an exclusive resort like no other, open only from sunset to sunrise, catering to an exclusive clientele of vampires and mortals, with strict rules in place that still can’t prevent each night from turning into a near disaster. Based on elements within Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned, this will be produced with Mark Johnson (who is overseeing development of the entire Anne Rice universe) and his company Gran Via.
Managing Bratis a fly-on-the-wall series that follows the lives of the successful power couple Da Brat and Jesseca “Judy” Dupart, the stars of the popular WE tv and ALLBLK series Brat Loves Judy. The show tracks the daily antics of Brat and Judy’s lives through the eyes of Bella, their invaluable assistant, best friend, road manager, confident, and whatever else the situation calls for. She keeps their personal and professional plates spinning at all times, with an unfiltered and highly entertaining perspective.
Show Me Moreis the ultimate backstage pass for fans of AMC Networks’ most beloved, high-quality scripted series, with a mix of on-set exclusives, revealing cast interviews and hosted segments. Back for a second season, after proving to be hugely popular with fans across digital, social and AVOD/FAST platforms and AMC+, new installments will focus on final seasons of The Walking Dead, Killing Eve and Better Call Saul while also introducing new worlds through Dark Winds, the Anne Rice universe and other new series.
Hosted by Jordan Carlos, Can We Talk About This?is the popular digital original series that fosters thought provoking and entertaining discussions around culturally relevant issues through the lens of his guests’ personal experiences, all against a backdrop of theatrical films and original programming. Through previous seasons, Carlos and his guests have taken on a wide variety of topics and themes and the “Talk” is just beginning.

AMC ORDERS SIX ADDITIONAL EPISODES OF WEEKLY DIGITAL SERIES BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH AT COLMAN’S HOSTED BY FEAR THE WALKING DEAD’S COLMAN DOMINGO
Produced in Partnership with Diageo, New Episodes Air Sundays, Beginning August 23 Guests Include Jesse Williams, Taylour Paige, MJ Rodriguez, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Barry Jenkins, Julia Stiles and More
NEW YORK, NY, JULY 21, 2020 – AMC has ordered six additional episodes of the digital weekly series Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s, a 20-minute video-chat-based show hosted by Colman Domingo (Fear The Walking Dead, Zola, Candyman) from his home in Los Angeles. Viewers can watch new episodes on Sundays, beginning August 23, on YouTube.com/TheWalkingDead as well as AMC.com and Fear The Walking Dead Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s taps into Domingo’s favorite way to stay connected to his community of family and friends – brunch – and takes it virtual. Prior to his career as a writer, actor and director, Domingo worked in the service industry — and his love of bar and restaurant life has never left him. Domingo will send a couple of his friends all the mixings each week for a cocktail that can easily be made at home, ask them to make something delicious to eat for brunch, and invite them to join him for a virtual brunch to talk about life today and how they are coping. The series will lead with Domingo’s favorite, a Bulleit Bourbon Black Manhattan, for guests Kim Dickens, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Brett Gelman, among others and will continue each week with various drink and food pairings.
“With so much going on in our world, I hope to bring a little light and levity into your homes,” said Domingo. “I love introducing friends to one another and getting to know them in a unique way. No better way than to bring you into my home and share a little of ourselves with you at home. Who doesn’t enjoy a good brunch? I’ve enjoyed brunch for hours! Ask my good friend Elaine Welteroth. We clocked in seven hours for a brunch. Let’s have some fun.”
“We are big Colman Domingo fans, both on screen and off, and love the idea of tapping into his talent to bring fans something delightful during this time. Colman is passionate about the need for people to come together and share their humanity, so it is natural that he should want to stay connected with his community and fans during this time. This project is one we are very happy to keep bringing to our digital audiences,” said Sarah Barnett, President of AMC Networks’ Entertainment Group & AMC Studios.

In Saturday’s episode, targeted while in prison, Denton confides to Fleming why she thinks she is being set up. Meanwhile, the mutilated body of a teenage girl is found buried under a collapsed garage door.

The sole surviving police officer is Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton (Keeley Hawes). Deputy Chief Constable Mike Dryden (Mark Bonnar) takes personal charge, assigning AC-12 to the case. Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott, Detective Constable Kate Fleming and Superintendent Ted Hastings are joined by newly-appointed Detective Constable Georgia Trotman (Jessica Raine) to investigate a complex case rich in unexpected twists and turns.

In each week’s episode, Domingo will send a couple of his friends all the mixings for his cocktail of choice, ask them to make something delicious and invite them to join him for a virtual brunch to talk about life today and how they are coping.
Harriet Walter as Dasha and Jodie Comer as Villanelle
Season three of BBC America’s hit Killing Eve continues on Sunday, May 24th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on BBC America and AMC.

The third season continues the story of two women with brutal pasts, addicted to each other but now trying desperately to live their lives without their drug of choice. For Villanelle, the assassin without a job, Eve is dead. For Eve, the ex-MI6 operative hiding in plain sight, Villanelle will never find her. All seems fine until a shocking and personal death sets them on a collision course yet again. The journey back to each other will cost both of them friends, family, and allegiances…and perhaps a share of their souls.

In Wednesday’s series finale, “The Long Offseason,” artificial intelligence takes steps in pursuit to rule the world and attempts to take over baseball.
Brockmire follows Jim Brockmire (Hank Azaria), a famed major league baseball announcer who suffered a notorious public breakdown after stumbling upon his wife’s (Katie Finneran) infidelity – a breakdown so bad that “Brutal Brockmire” became a viral internet meme. In Season 4, it’s 15 years into the dystopian future and Brockmire is now the Commissioner of baseball as the once legendary baseball announcer is now back on top and his struggles with sobriety are behind him. However, at this later stage of his life he is tasked with saving America’s pastime as the world around him descends into chaos, all while trying to salvage his relationship with his newfound daughter (Reina Hardesty) and rekindle the love he once had for Jules (Amanda Peet).
Brockmire originally appeared as a viral short video on the award-winning comedy website Funny Or Die. The series is written and developed by Joel Church-Cooper.

Martin Compston as Steve Arnott, Vicky McClure as Detective Inspector Kate Fleming
Season one of Acorn TV’s hit British police drama, Line of Duty, continues on Saturday, May 9th at 11:00 pm ET/PT. In Saturday’s episode, after a police convoy is ambushed, the investigation centers on DI Lindsay Denton, the sole survivor. Denton quickly goes from valuable witness to prime suspect.
Run by zealous Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), AC-12’s target is the gifted, charismatic Detective Chief Inspector Tony Gates (Lennie James), whose unit returns the best crime figures on the force. Gates appears to be an exemplary police officer and hard-working family man, but Hastings is convinced Gates’ results are too good to be true. Determined to expose Gates as a fraud or worse, Hastings recruits Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) to the unit. Meanwhile, fascinated by Gates but for very different reasons, an ambitious young Detective Constable, Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure), coaxes herself onto his unit, teaming up with Gates’ loyal lieutenants, Detective Sergeant Matthew “Dot” Cottan (Craig Parkinson) and Detective Constable Nigel Morton (Neil Morrissey). And, as if being under investigation isn’t enough of a complication for Gates, he’s also trying to hide an affair with an old flame (Gina McKee). Every time Gates seems cornered, he finds a way to turn the tables. But all the while he’s digging a bigger hole for himself, plunging irrevocably into a moral abyss. And as the stakes get higher, soon it isn’t just careers on the line – it’s lives.
Line of Duty is written by Jed Mercurio (Bodyguard, Critical), and produced by World Productions for BBC Two. Mercurio, Simon Heath (The Great Train Robbery, The Bletchley Circle) and Stephen Wright serve as executive producers.

The third season continues the story of two women with brutal pasts, addicted to each other but now trying desperately to live their lives without their drug of choice. For Villanelle, the assassin without a job, Eve is dead. For Eve, the ex-MI6 operative hiding in plain sight, Villanelle will never find her. All seems fine until a shocking and personal death sets them on a collision course yet again. The journey back to each other will cost both of them friends, family, and allegiances…and perhaps a share of their souls.
