Welcome Weirdos, I'm Darren Marlar and this is a bonus bite of weird dark news.

AMC Networks and Complex Networks have announced a content partnership that combines AMC Networks

popular programming with the Complex Networks pop culture, food and fashion programming pillars.

Looking to leverage the strength of food and fandoms, the partnership will kick off with

a focus specifically around the Walking Dead.

The first planned execution combines the Walking Dead Universe with online food publication

First We Feast to create the original series Run the Dish.

Each episode of this unconventional cooking show will feature apocalypse inspired dishes

created by Complex Celebrity Chefs and talent from the Walking Dead Universe.

If We Feast has become the number one brand in food entertainment, creating massive IP

and extensions like Hot Ones, the Burger Show, Tacos Contoto and many others.

Partnering with another iconic franchise with a rabid fanbase like the Walking Dead made

all the sense according to Edgar Hernandez, Chief Revenue Officer for Complex Networks,

when looking for our next strategic partnership it made sense.

Together we'll create new content experiences that enable brand partners to go deep with

our IP and fandoms.

The collaboration comes as AMC looks to diversify its advertising opportunities in an evolving

media landscape.

We have original programming franchises that break through in popular culture and are

focal points of vibrant and active fan communities, said Kim Grenido, Executive Vice President

to AMC Networks content room and integrated marketing.

Through Complex Networks, we'll establish culture pillars.
