The company, led by CEO Kristin Dolan, added around x,000 streaming subscribers in the latest quarter that ended on Sept. 30 to hit a total of 10.4 million subs, compared with 10.4 million as of the end of June and compared with 10.2 million as of the end of September 2024.

However, earlier this year, the company had said it would change the way it calculated streaming subscribers, with its numbers now reflecting subscribers who pay a fee for one of their services, rather than those who receive access to one of the streaming services through a video package that also includes linear programming. The company previously forecast that streaming revenue would be its largest single revenue component this year, with acceleration in quarterly streaming revenue growth as the year progresses. Under Dolan, AMC Networks has focused its strategy on programming, partnerships, and profitability. With its second-quarter earnings report, the firm had increased its free cash flow outlook for the full year 2025 to approximately $250 million, citing “healthy” trends. Among the original series that the company’s services featured in the third quarter were the likes of season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Madame Blanc Mysteries on Acorn TV, Nautilus on AMC, and The Luckiest Man in America and Kidnapped on AMC+. Said Dolan on Friday: “Our performance in the third quarter marks a key milestone in our transition from a cable networks business to a global streaming and technology focused content company. Streaming revenue growth accelerated and will represent our largest single source of domestic revenue this year.” THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day international Comcast’s Sky in Talks to Acquire U.K. TV Giant ITV’s Media Unit in Deal Valuing it at $2.1 Billion Disney-YouTube TV Standoff Seems to Be Hurting ABC’s Ratings Bob Iger Has Some Advice For His Successors Lionsgate Shrinks Quarterly Loss After Starz Spin Off Video Games ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Delayed Once More to November 2026 Man Who Created AI Holiday Coke Ad Says It Took More Creativity Than You Realize The Hollywood Reporter is a part of Penske Media Corporation. © 2025 The Hollywood Reporter, LLC.
