MIPCOM Spotlight: AMC Networks International

CANNES: AMC Networks International is looking for dramatic series for both AMC and Sundance Channel with "great stories and dynamic characters," according to Bruce Tuchman, the president of AMC Global and Sundance Channel Global.

Prior to MIPCOM, AMC recently extended its footprint with a launch in the U.K. on BT TV. “We’ve been looking to expand our channel offering in the U.K., and BT is a terrific partner that shares our vision to offer the best original series and films,” says Tuchman.

The channel launched with the exclusive premieres of series such as the Walking Dead spin-off Fear the Walking Dead and the drama Rectify. AMC originals Mad Men and Breaking Bad are also being showcased, alongside a lineup of exclusive films featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. The new martial-arts action adventure series Into the Badlands will debut simultaneously on AMC across the globe in November.
