Fear The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul have actually done decent numbers, but AMC investors had extremely high expectations for both dramas and they have simply failed to match the great heights the original programs in their respective franchises brought in.
Speaking to Yahoo, a slew of analysts spoke about their concerns over the programming AMC has produced in recent seasons, which includes the genre drama Preacher—a show with a small audience–the underperforming Walking Dead spinoff Fear The Walking Dead, the already-cancelled Feed the Beast and the highly advertised Into the Badlands, which also didn’t finish its season with super high ratings.
It’s not like AMC is just completely floundering, here.
