Want to watch The Terror with Tobias Menzies early? There’s now a way…
If you head over to the link here, you can get a little bit more information about the service — basically, for a small fee a month you can see The Terror, which features Tobias Menzies, Ciaran Hinds, Jared Harris, and many other wonderful actors, without commercials even before some of the episodes come on the air. (All episodes will be available at the time of the premiere on March 26.) The same goes for another series that the network is currently broadcasting in McMafia, which already aired on the BBC over in the UK. Consider this an option for some of you who are the impatient type, or just really love the cast here and don’t want to wait to check out the remainder of the season.
What AMC is doing effectively with their AMC Premiere service is similar in some ways to what networks like FX and others are doing now. Basically, they are looking to come up with some other ways to monetize content, including offering commercial-free versions of some of their favorite shows coupled with some bonus features, curated movies, and some other content. In an age in which viewership for programming is dropping networks have to find some other ways in order to monetize content. One of the best ways consistently to do that is by offering some sort of alternative way in which viewers can enjoy their programming while also getting something that regular subscribers are now. Given that so many people no longer watch their favorite shows on television, having a commercial free option that can travel with you wherever is an appealing option for many out there.
AMC Premiere should be available to more customers in the future.
