Netflix, AMC Team Up

Netflix and AMC Studios are co-producing a drama series called 'Bannerman' based on John R. Maxim's spy novels. The series will premiere on AMC in the US and Canada and later on Netflix in those markets.

Shane Black and Craig Silverstein are writers and executive producers of the series 'Bannerman'. Black co-wrote the first episode and will direct the first two episodes, while Silverstein will showrun and write. Greg Nicotero and Brian Witten are also executive producers.

The series 'Bannerman' is based on a series of five novels by John R. Maxim. The official logline states that the series follows Paul Bannerman, a lethal covert operative, who convinces a group of the world’s most deadly assassins to quit the spy game for a chance to lead normal lives in the suburbs of Connecticut.

Netflix and AMC will jointly premiere each episode of 'Bannerman' in Australia, New Zealand, and Spain. In the US and Canada, the series will be available on Netflix 90 days after the season finale airs on AMC.

## Why it matters The co-production of 'Bannerman' marks the first collaboration between Netflix and AMC Studios to jointly develop and produce original series. This deal opens a new avenue for Netflix to collaborate with traditional studios and expands AMC’s longtime relationship with Netflix.

Dan McDermott, chief content officer of AMC Global Media and president of AMC Studios, said 'Bannerman is a smart, high-octane thrill ride of a series, powered by an extraordinary creative team'. The series is expected to be a premium drama that will kick off the partnership between Netflix and AMC Studios.

## What happens next The series 'Bannerman' will premiere on AMC in the US and Canada, and will later be available on Netflix in those markets. The joint premiere in Australia, New Zealand, and Spain will mark a new approach to releasing content for both Netflix and AMC Studios. As the first co-production between the two companies, 'Bannerman' is expected to set the tone for future collaborations.
