DESCRIPTION:
(from AMC's press release, July 2018) AMC announced today from the Television Critics' Association (TCA) Press Tour that it has renewed a slate of popular series including "Better Call Saul" and "Fear The Walking Dead" for their fifth seasons and "McMafia" for its second season. "In an environment where viewer choice is almost unlimited, the success of these shows is especially meaningful, with characters and stories that our viewers connect with and return to season after season," said David Madden, president of original programming for AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. "It's a privilege to continue collaborating with and sharing the vision of the talented creatives behind these series, and we're excited to start exploring the next chapter in the lives of these unique and complex characters." A second season of "McMafia" is being ordered. The global organized crime thriller that continues to echo real-world headlines will air on AMC, AMC Premiere and streaming service Sundance Now. The first season of the series is currently available on AMC Premiere, an upgrade option for Xfinity and YouTube TV customers. "McMafia" was created by Hossein Amini and James Watkins and inspired by Misha Glenny's best-selling book of the same name about the "franchizing" of the mafia as it spread globally. "McMafia" is co-produced by the BBC, AMC and Cuba Pictures, in association with Twickenham Studios, and distributed internationally by BBC Worldwide. |
