Netflix-AMC Walking Dead licensing deal

Overview

On 30 July 2026, Netflix and AMC Global Media announced a five-year, co-exclusive licensing agreement worth approximately $500 million. The deal covers the original *The Walking Dead* series and its six spin-offs—*Fear the Walking Dead*, *The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon*, *Dead City*, *The Ones Who Live*, *World Beyond*, and *Tales*—adding 371 episodes to Netflix’s catalogue and extending streaming rights until 2032. The agreement expands Netflix’s access to new territories, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand, while maintaining existing exclusive U.S. rights. Additionally, the deal allows AMC+ to stream the original series for the first time starting in 2027.

Netflix’s August 2026 content announcement reiterated the arrangement, noting that the franchise would begin streaming in the newly added territories in 2027. Licenses for individual titles are expected to roll out on different dates in each market as existing contracts expire.

On 14 August 2026, reports indicated that Netflix renewed its agreement with AMC Global Media to host the franchise through 2029. This specific renewal involves an investment of approximately 460 million euros over five years. Under these terms, the 371 episodes will remain available on AMC+ alongside Netflix, maintaining the non-exclusive nature of the content distribution.
