AMC's The Walking Dead will be arriving on the MyNetworkTV lineup starting this fall. MyNetworkTV is Fox-owned and has acquired off-network rights to the zombie drama.
The terms of the deal include that MyNetwork can air two episodes of Dead from a past season one night a week, Variety reported.
This deal was announced on Wednesday by AMC. The AMC network still holds all of the rights to The Walking Dead.
Dead is the number one cable show with adults that range in age from 18-49 across all networks.
Greg Meidel of 20th TV prexy, expressed excitement about this latest deal which will allow fans to see older episodes of the show. “We are fired up that MyNetworkTV will be the exclusive broadcast home to ‘The Walking Dead.’ As we enter the 2014 upfronts, the blockbuster program, which breaks the mold of conventional television, further enhances 20th Television’s media sales slate of hit comedies, dramas and first-run programming,” said Meidel.
It was also announced that a family friendly edited version of The Walking Dead will also be airing on MyNetworkTV, Entertainment Weekly reported.
