![]() ![]() will be heading to AMC+ once its finishes its run over there. Kin is also supposed to be getting a second season over on AMC+, and Happy Valley's final season, which already debuted in the U.K. Sidhu Investigates is Acorn TV's new big get, while Dalgleish will be back for Season 2 in 2023 on Acorn TV, as will The Chelsea Detective, Harry Wild, and The Larkins. How that plays out may very well depend on how the Anne Rice series on AMC+ do for subscriber numbers.īut while we wait to see what happens, there are at least a few series fans can look for. Moreover, there have been dire stories from inside AMC Networks suggesting the entire streaming operation is about to be overhauled. Acorn TV is now streaming several shows that debuted on other AMC Network streaming services, its separate PR department has been slashed, and outside of the U.S., at least one Acorn TV service has been shut down. However, there are signs that the wall between the two is coming down. Moreover, Acorn TV came in with over 1 million subscribers, a much larger base than any of AMC's other offerings. The same cannot be said of AMCN's other niche streamers, Sundance Now, Shudder, IFC, and the streamer-less BBC America. ![]() That's because parent company AMC Networks kept the two brands distinct without crossing over shows from one to the other. Up until now, we here at Telly Visions have treated these two streamers as separate entities, despite the latter buying the former in 2018. However, that's not the only significant change viewers should keep an eye on. It will also mean that Anglophiles will have to decide if the combined streamer (rumored to be called "Max") is still worth paying for. This will be the capstone in Discovery Network's takeover of Warner Media (which owns HBO Max), and for viewers, it will subtract one streaming service from the 20+ services available. The major shift among the most prominent streaming services will be the merger of HBO Max with Discovery+, currently on track to occur in the summer of 2023. However, that will not be the case for 2023. This past year, 2022, has been relatively calm, no new major streaming services were launched, and only one shut down Spectrum Originals. But as we round into 2023 and the tenth anniversary of that debut, the upheaval is about to begin again. Since the beginning of the 2020s, Telly Visions has been tracking the streaming world for anglophiles, where the shows and movies are going, and why. When Netflix remade the award-winning British series House of Cards in 2013 for its first major release, few understood just how much it would change the way we consume entertainment in the coming decade that followed. ![]()
