AMC+ is an American subscription video on demand streaming service owned by AMC Networks that was launched on June 11, 2020. The service is a premium bundle that includes the live feeds and program libraries of the company's television networks and streaming brands along with its own exclusive content.[1]

History

AMC+ was first launched in June 11, 2020 for Xfinity customers, and included content that was previously exclusive to subscribers of the AMC cable channel through its TV Everywhere AMC Premiere app.[2] On October 1, 2020, AMC+ launched on Amazon Prime Video Channels and Apple TV Channels, and became available to Dish Network and Sling TV customers.[3][4] On November 23, 2020, AMC+ launched on Roku.[5] On April 6, 2021, AMC+ became available on YouTube TV.[6] On the same month, AMC+ launched on DirecTV. In August 2021, AMC+ finally launched on TV, computer and mobile devices.

Former BBC America executive director Courtney Thomasma was named general manager of AMC+ on April 8, 2021. Thomasma reports to Miguel Penella, AMC Networks’ President of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD).[7]

Content

AMC+ primarily features content from AMC, BBC America, IFC, Sundance TV, Shudder, IFC Films Unlimited, and Sundance Now. The service features early access to original series (such as AMC's The Walking Dead franchise), with new episodes offered a week before their cable television premieres. The service also includes exclusive films that are released every Friday, with some titles getting the simultaneous release with its parent company, including RLJE Films and IFC Films/IFC Midnight. AMC+ in Australia, Spain[citation needed] and India includes Acorn TV.

In March 2022, AMC+ launched in India via Apple TV Channels, including Acorn TV.[10] In June, the service also launched on Prime Video.[11]
