Answer

AMC Global Media reported its second-quarter 2026 earnings Thursday, on the heels of announcing a $500 million co-exclusive streaming deal with Netflix for “The Walking Dead.” Streaming revenue for the second quarter, which ran March-May, increased 6% year over year to $180 million. ad sales were down 11% at $109 million, with AMC noting that figure included “the one-time impact of a now resolved system integration issue in the second quarter” and excluding that impact, “advertising revenue declined in the mid- single digit percent area.” AMC has updated its full-year revenue forecast to $2.4-$2.5 billion based on the expected impact of the new “The Walking Dead” licensing agreement with Netflix.
