Fox International Channels is looking to build on its global success from The Walking Dead and apply it to its upcoming Cinemax exorcism drama Outcast.
FIC — the company that distributes Walking Dead worldwide and is a strategic partner on the zombie drama — identified AMC’s ratings juggernaut during its script stage. The company teamed with Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman early on to partner as the studio behind his upcoming comics-to-TV take, Outcast. As part of that push, FIC is launching Fox International Studios, to be headed by Sharon Tal Yguado.
