AMC Networks Inc. has acquired a minority ownership stake in Funny Or Die. That’s good news for AMC cable channel IFC, which can now double down on its ongoing collaboration with the Will Ferrell-Adam McKay digital comedy platform.
IFC and FoD most recently worked together on upcoming Hank Azaria series “Brockmire.” Pictured above, the project began as a Funny Or Die short — it will soon premiere as an actual cable TV series. More of that may happen, with IFC eyeing existing Funny Or Die properties, though this deal is more focused on creating new content together, TheWrap is told.
