AMC’s ‘Humans’ Gets a New Streaming Home Next Year
In recent years, it seems like just about anything that cable network AMC has touched has turned in to gold. That also holds true with their new series "Humans," who just got a new streaming home on Amazon Prime starting next year.
According to Deadline, Season 1 of the science fiction drama premiered over the summer to solid ratings and it was given the green light for a season 2. Now that season 1 has concluded its run, it was looking for a new home to stream its second run episodes. That new home, as it turns out, will be on Amazon Prime this spring.
This should not be confused with a network or platform switch. This is just a second rights move for the show, which AMC frequently does with many of its hit shows including 'The Walking Dead," "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men." All of those shows got an exclusive streaming home on Netflix after they first aired on AMC.
The basic concept of the series is about a near future where artificial intelligence has been developed for non-human robots named Synths. In this future, Synths take care of basic tasks and other labor-intensive work for humans.
The series takes shape when a British family brings a female version of a Synth home named Anita (Gemma Chan). The beautiful A.I. robot starts to put the family at odds with each other just by her presence alone. Rivalries and jealousies start to reach a boiling point and the drama unfolds with how they all interact with each other.
Brad Beale, VP of Digital Video Content Acquisition for Amazon, released a statement on the new offering from the company.
"Humans was one of this summer's top new series and is exactly the type of smart, thought-provoking shows that Prime members love," Beale said. "We are excited that Prime members will soon be able to experience the sci-fi drama at no additional charge."
Season one of the show will premiere on Amazon Prime this spring, just ahead of the season two premiere on AMC.
