Netflix announces 13 AMC shows are heading to the streaming service, including The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and Interview with the Vampire. Despite its name, American Movie Classics, the basic cable channel is home to many original television series, such as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, and many more. Since its launch in 2020, many of these shows have been available for streaming on AMC+ in a limited capacity, but now, many more of them are coming to Netflix.

On X, formerly Twitter, Netflix announced that 13 AMC series are coming to the streaming service this summer. See the full list below:

The post, as seen above, reads, “Stay up all night with Louis, Lestat and these 13 AMC Series — coming to Netflix in the US on August 19.” The shows are, in alphabetical order: A Discovery of Witches, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire season 1, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, Dark Winds, Fear the Walking Dead, Gangs of London, Into the Badlands, Kevin can F*** Himself, Monsieur Spade, Preacher, That Dirty Black Bag, The Terror season 1, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

AMC Series Have Had Much Success On Netflix

In the past, AMC shows have had much success on Netflix, especially Breaking Bad, considered the first show to experience the “Netflix effect.” In 2010, after its third season, Netflix obtained the streaming rights to Breaking Bad during a time when AMC was considering canceling the show. Once Breaking Bad was available for streaming before the fourth season premiered, it significantly increased its audience on AMC as new viewers binged the previous episodes on Netflix, ultimately doubling its viewership by the fifth season.

The Walking Dead is another AMC series that has had much success on Netflix and now, subscribers will have the chance to catch up on other shows set in the shared universe. Fear the Walking Dead, which aired from 2015 to 2023 for eight seasons, was the franchise’s first spinoff, following a different set of characters on the West Coast. Daryl Dixon, premiered in 2023, follows the titular crossbow-wielding character after the events of the original series. With the first season coming to Netflix, subscribers can catch up on the series before Daryl Dixon season 2 premieres on September 29.

Besides The Walking Dead, another one of AMC’s shared universes is coming to Netflix. Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches are both part of AMC’s Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Anne Rice’s novels, with a third series focused on the Talamasca secret society also in development. With a total of 13 shows coming to the streaming service, AMC series should continue to thrive on Netflix for the foreseeable future.
