Jeff Daniels to star in AMC's 'Bannerman,' first series under Netflix co-production deal

· Entertainment · United States

Emmy winner Jeff Daniels is set to star in Bannerman, AMC's upcoming drama series based on the spy novels by John R. Maxim, which will get a second window on Netflix. Daniels is the first actor cast in the series, the first to come out of AMC Studios' co-production agreement with Netflix. The arrangement gives the cable network a scripted drama with a Netflix second window, an example of traditional networks and streamers sharing new series rather than treating them as exclusives.

Why it matters：A first series under an AMC-Netflix co-production pact illustrates how legacy cable networks and streamers are increasingly sharing new scripted content to split costs and reach broader audiences.

Key points

  • The series is based on John R. Maxim's spy novels.
  • Daniels is the first actor cast.
  • It is the first project from AMC Studios' co-production deal with Netflix.
