The new content, which includes a mix of celebrated dramas, comedies, and reality shows, will be available under two main categories: AMC Stories and AMC Reality. AMC Stories will feature critically acclaimed series like ‘Brockmire,’ ‘The Son,’ and ‘Portlandia,’ while AMC Reality, set to launch in May, will offer reality TV enthusiasts a plethora of options including ‘Love After Lock Up’ and ‘Million Dollar Matchmaker.’
Unlike the deal made with StudioCanal in February 2023, which limited access to over 400 films to premium subscribers, the AMC shows will be available to all ITVX users at no additional cost, although ad-supported. Despite being a geo-blocked platform, viewers can simply access ITVX outside UK using a few hacks.
Sasha Breslau, Head of Content Acquisitions at ITV, expressed enthusiasm about the new addition:
We’re looking forward to bringing AMC Networks International UK’s premium scripted and reality titles to ITVX. We’ve enjoyed a very successful partnership with AMC already during ITVX’s first year — and now we’ll be showcasing even more of their best programming. We know that ITVX viewers love big stars, glossy scripted and jaw-dropping reality — and this deal has it all!
This announcement comes on the heels of ITVX reporting its most successful month, with record-breaking streaming figures driven by popular shows and live sports events. The platform is now set to double its premium subscriber target by 2026 while continuing to enhance viewer experience with new features and broader accessibility.
With this expansion, ITVX aims to solidify its position in the competitive streaming market, offering a rich mix of free and premium content to its growing viewer base.
