The Walking Dead may have ended its original run years ago, but the franchise is continuing to prove it still has plenty of life left. According to the report, Netflix and AMC Global Media have reached a new multi-year global licensing agreement that covers the full Walking Dead universe, putting the zombie saga back in the streaming spotlight.
The deal gives Netflix and AMC co-exclusive streaming rights to the main series as well as all six of its spin-offs. Altogether, that adds up to 371 episodes, making it a major library expansion for viewers who want to revisit the franchise from the beginning or catch up on its larger world.
The original series ran for 11 seasons and 177 episodes, and the franchise has continued to grow well beyond Rick Grimes’ first appearance in the post-apocalyptic world. Nearly 16 years after that debut, the property remains one of AMC’s most durable hits, with new chapters still extending the universe. The report notes that this is a developing story, so more details may follow as they become available.
