“Every great show, every great experience at some point comes to an end,” he said of the series finales. “We’re so grateful to have had these shows on our platforms. They helped define AMC as a home for premium content.”
McDermott said developing worthy follow-ups to that potent trio is simply “my job.” Assessing the development slate and library holdings when he started at the company in 2020, he said, was a helpful start, but even more determinate was the company’s decision shortly after his arrival to fully embrace streaming.
As to how AMC Networks can continue to punch above its weight when it comes to competing for talent or pitches, he pointed to a few factors. “We swim in this one lane only,” he said, referring to premium scripted fare for adults. “We’re small, we’re not overburdened with bureaucracy. I’m very reachable.” While high-end talent “loves to get the big payday,” he added, “as important as anything else, they want to produce great content.” Writers, directors and producers making projects at companies larger than AMC Networks can find it “very difficult to get traction.
The company has also sought to deepen relationships with talent it has been in business with for some time. Case in point: Bob Odenkirk.
