The Walking Dead - The final eight episodes of AMC’s long-running zombie thriller begin Sunday, Oct 2. AMC+ subscribers will be able to watch two episodes the day of the premiere, then access new episodes one week early.
Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire - Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire kicks off AMC’s new deal with the estate of the late horror novelist. Starring Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm on Game of Thrones) as Louis and Sam Reid as Lestat, the new series is being billed as a “sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel.” The new series premieres Sunday, Oct. 2.
Dark Glasses (Premieres Oct. 13) - The latest film from Italian horror master Dario Argento is about an escort (Ilenia Pastorelli) who is targeted for murder before she loses her sight in a car accident. Unsurprisingly, the accident does not garner sympathy from her would-be killer, and she must continue to fight for her life with the help of a young boy (Andrea Zhang) who acts as her eyes.

True Crime Story: It Couldn’t Happen Here - Hilarie Burton Morgan, who fans of The Walking Dead will recognize as the wife of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, hosts and executive produces this true crime series which “puts a spotlight on murder cases from small towns across America where questions remain if justice has been fully served.” The season finale will be available on Thursday, Oct. 13.
True Crime Story: Indefensible - As a comedian and co-writer of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Jena Friedman might not seem like the natural choice to host a true crime series. But her sharp comedic mind is put to good use in this show, which uses individual cases as a cutting exploration of our cultural fascination with crime and murder. The new season premieres Thursday, Oct. 27 on AMC+.
Top Gear - Now in its 32nd season, the original UK version of Top Gear is a pioneer in the reality TV space. However, the show’s longevity has less to do with the cars than the easy chemistry of its hosts.
