AMC+ Honors Black History Month with a Collection of Powerful Series and Films Created By and Featuring Black Talent and Stories

New York, NY, January 22, 2021 – For the month of February, AMC+ offers subscribers a wide variety of critically acclaimed and commercial-free programming, including compelling new dramas, fan-favorite franchises, and film collections from across the company’s entertainment networks and targeted streaming services. Highlights this month include early access to several highly anticipated debuts, including the extended tenth season of The Walking Dead available every Thursday ahead of the linear premieres on Sundays. Subscribers can also indulge in a robust lineup of dramas every Thursday, including two Sundance Now Exclusive Series – Season 1 of police procedural The Murders and Season 2 of the glamorous drama Playing for Keeps – as well as two critically-acclaimed series joining the service for the first time – French thriller The Returned and The Bridge. In addition to exclusive films from IFC Films Unlimited and Shudder, AMC+ will honor Black History Month with a collection of influential series and films created by and featuring Black talent and stories all month long.

• Subscribers will have early access to The Walking Dead’s extended tenth season of six new episodes and the popular Talking Dead aftershow, hosted by Chris Hardwick, with episodes debuting every Thursday beginning February 25, ahead of the linear premieres on Sunday.
• Last on The Walking Dead, we witnessed the fall of Alpha (Samantha Morton) and the end of the Whisperers War. The Kingdom had fallen, Hilltop was virtually destroyed, and Alexandria abandoned to prepare for final battle. Survivors were trapped and separated from one another. Yet, when faced with almost certain death, they rallied together to fight, killing Beta (Ryan Hurst) and eliminating the threat of the horde. In these six new episodes, we find survivors trying to pick themselves up by their bootstraps following the destruction the Whisperers left in their wake. The years of struggle weigh upon them as past traumas surface, exposing their more vulnerable sides. As they question the state of humanity, the state of their collective community, and the states of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships, and group intact?
• Sundance Now/Shudder Original Series A Discovery of Witches continues to debut new episodes on AMC+ every Saturday.

In the present day however, their enemies have not forgotten them.
