ITVX viewers gain a bunch of free shows from major US TV network including shock Love After Lockup series

A BUNCH of shows from a major US network have landed on ITVX for free in a fresh boost for the streaming service.

The British broadcaster has signed a new deal with AMC, the channel behind The Walking Dead.

Sadly, the hit zombie apocalypse series and its spin-offs aren’t included – The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is still without a home in the UK.

But the deal does promise to add 1,100 extra hours to ITV‘s growing streaming app.

Two new collections are coming to the platform, AMC Stories and AMC Reality.

AMC Stories features award-winning drama and comedy, such as Brockmire starring Hank Azaria and The Son with Pierce Brosnan.

You can also catch Lodge 49, Creepshow and Portlandia.

Meanwhile, AMC Reality includes shock series Love After Lockup, which follows the lives of recently released prisoners as their other halves – see a clip from the show at the top of this page.

The collection will also have Growing Up Hip Hop, Amazing Wedding Cakes, Million Dollar Matchmaker and LA Hair.

AMC Stories is available now and AMC Reality will follow in May.

Other AMC shows are already available on ITVX as part of the TRUE CRIME UK, in collaboration with CBS.

“We’re looking forward to bringing AMCNI UK’s premium scripted and reality titles to ITVX,” said Sasha Breslau, Head of Content Acquisitions at ITVX.

“We’ve enjoyed a very successful partnership with AMCNI UK already during ITVX’s first year – and now we’ll be showcasing even more of their best programming.

“We know that ITVX viewers love big stars, glossy scripted and jaw dropping reality – and this deal has it all!”
