Hulu has announced today that it has reached a deal with AMC which gives it exclusive subscription video-on-demand streaming rights for a new program called “Fear of the Walking Dead.” If the name sounds a bit familiar that’s because this is no coincidence, the new show is actually a spin-off of the insanely popular The Walking Dead series. This deal is part of a multiyear deal that Hulu has signed with AMC.
This deal with AMC also provides Hulu with new and upcoming shows from partner networks like IFC, BBC America, Sundance TV and WE tv.
Hulu will exclusively stream Fear of the Walking Dead online before it appears elsewhere, it will also get exclusive streaming rights to other shows from the aforementioned channels.
That’s not the only big news that Hulu announced today. After months of rumors about all the different online video streaming services that could score exclusive streaming rights to rerun favorite Seinfeld, it was finally confirmed today that this crown is also going to Hulu.
Hulu is now the exclusive online streaming home for Seinfeld and reportedly it has paid up to $180 million for this privilege. All nine seasons of Seinfeld will start streaming only on Hulu this June.
