- AMC Networks launching new on-demand collections including drama, comedy and reality shows on ITV’s streaming platform.
More than 1,100 hours of new content is coming to ITVX as AMC Networks International UK strikes a new deal with ITV.
Original AMC comedy and drama series including Brockmire, The Son, Lodge 49, Creepshow and Portlandia are now available to stream on ITVX in the new AMC Stories collection.
Next month, more AMC content will arrive on ITVX with the launch of AMC Reality. This will include shows such as Love After Lock Up, Growing Up Hip Hop, Amazing Wedding Cakes, Million Dollar Matchmaker and LA Hair.
The new AMC collections on ITVX follow an existing collaboration that launched back in 2022. True Crime UK, which launched originally on ITVX under the ‘CBS Reality’ name, provides fans of the genre with a library of real life crime stories. True Crime UK is part of the CBS AMC UK Networks Channel Partnership, which also operates the True Crime Freeview channel.
▶ How to access AMC content on ITVX
Unlike other third party content, like Studiocanal, you don’t need to be an ITVX Premium user. Content from AMC is ad-supported and open to all registered ITVX users.
AMC Stories is already available and AMC Reality joins ITVX in May 2024.
Content will appear in the relevant ‘categories’ area of ITVX.
