AMC Networks wants to sell the ads that accompany “Walking Dead” on its flagship cable outlet and wherever the series’ zombies might march.
The company that operates cable networks like AMC, IFC and We TV is telling advertisers that it will maintain first-window sales rights when series it owns are made available on ad-supported streaming outlets that might include venues like Pluto TV, among others. The company expects to unveil some of these deals in weeks to come, but believes the arrangement means AMC can help a sponsor create commercials that suit the show no matter where it runs
“Unlike many who are in the process of pulling all their intellectual property back and putting it into a ‘walled garden’ situation, our goal is to make sure that our programming and our shows are seen by as many people as want to on every platform and every device they want to consume it on,...

Exclusive: AMC is breaking new ground with Pantheon, a primetime animated drama series. The network is making a big bet on the hourlong project from Turn creator/executive producer Craig Silverstein and AMC Studios, with an order for two eight-episode seasons.
This marks back-to-back two-season pickups for AMC, which in October gave its first ever two-season order to 61st Street, a close-ended drama starring Courtney B. Vance. While 61st Street is designed for a limited run, Pantheon is envisioned as an ongoing series. It extends AMC’s streak of experimentation with genre and format. The network’s three most recent new series orders, made by Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios, consist of a show alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, a two-season close-ended drama (61st Street) and animated drama (Pantheon).
