A Half Billion Dollar Shift: What Netflix's 'The Walking Dead' Deal Says About Global Streaming Netflix's $500 million deal to share streaming rights for "The Walking Dead" and its spinoffs with AMC+ has left industry insiders perplexed.
This massive payout is a rare instance of the streamer giving up exclusive rights, opting instead for a shared model that will see both platforms coexist as global destinations for the franchise.
The agreement extends Netflix's streaming rights beyond the US to territories such as the UK, Italy, and Australia, where AMC+ will gain access to the main show for the first time.
