Entertainment One, AMC ink distribution deal

Entertainment One, which already sells AMC Network’s The Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels internationally, has inked a multi-year deal with the U.S. network.

eOne will handle international distribution on all AMC Networks’ original scripted series, starting with Halt & Catch Fire and Turn.

The Canadian distributor will also represent Sundance Channel series, starting with The Red Road.

Additionally, Sundance Channel Global, the international arm of AMC Networks, plans to carry select series from the eOne output agreement on its networks.

The deal is AMC and Sundance Channel’s first exclusive international output partnership for scripted content.

“We’re thrilled to be expanding our relationship with AMC Networks and are honored to have been chosen as their major international distributor,” said John Morayniss, CEO of eOne Television, in a statement Thursday.
