AMC Networks’ Content Room has announced a slate of exciting upcoming projects, building on their successful Content Room originals strategy. The new shows will appear in various formats across the company’s full distribution ecosystem spanning linear networks, streaming services, and digital/CTV platforms. Here’s a breakdown of the exciting new projects:
Night Island: A New Short-Form Series
One of the most anticipated new shows is Night Island, a six-part short-form series based on Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned. The series follows a pair of art thieves intending to steal a legendary painting who go undercover on Night Island. However, they soon realize that the island is secretly a vacation hideaway for the undead. The show is set to premiere across all AMC Networks digital, streaming, and linear platforms in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Cooper’s Bar: Season 2
Following the success of its first season, Cooper’s Bar is returning for a second season. The fan-favorite short-form series is expanding into 30-minute episodes and will premiere on the linear network IFC before moving to other platforms. The show’s entire ensemble, including Lou Mustillo and the Emmy-nominated Rhea Seehorn, will be returning, along with new guest stars Whitney Cummings and Patrick Fabian. Season two is currently in production and is set to premiere in October.
You Are Here
You Are Here is a travel/memoir show hosted by Colman Domingo of Fear the Walking Dead. The show is produced by ZeroPointZero (Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown) and is currently completing production of season one with episodes devoted to Savannah, Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago. The first season is scheduled to premiere across AMC, Sundance TV, IFC, and WE tv, starting on Juneteenth. Johnnie Walker is the integrated sponsor of the show.

New installments will appear as aftershows following season finales on linear and streaming.
