The Saudi Film Commission has unveiled a new a state-of-the-art production complex in the capital city of Riyadh that will complete construction later this year.

Jax Film Studios, which were unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, will 'offer immediate access to the capital's five-star hotels, international airport, high-end dining, and a growing ecosystem of creative and technical talent,' according to a statement. 'Within a 20-minute radius, filmmakers can access everything required to support their work, from local crews to post-production services,' it added. 'Jax Film Studios represents a cornerstone in our strategy to develop a world-class film infrastructure in Saudi Arabia,' said Abdullah Al-Qahtani, CEO of the Saudi Film Commission, in the statement. 'As we become one of the region's premier production hubs, this facility is built to meet the highest international standards – empowering local creatives while attracting global talent,' he noted. Commented Abduljalil Alnasser, general manager of sector development and investment attraction at the Saudi Film Commission: 'With Jax Film Studios, we are introducing one of the world's most advanced and largest virtual production stages, powered by Sony's latest innovations, unlocking limitless creative possibilities.' The new Saudi studios announcement follows news earlier this month that Saudi Arabia's Film AlUla – the film commission for the swathe of northwest Saudi Arabia that comprises a lush oasis and vast sandstone canyons – signed a deal with The MBS Group, which comprises Manhattan Beach Studios – home to James Cameron's 'Avatar' sequels – that will exclusively manage and operate their state-of-the-art AlUla Studios. Neom, which is the site of Saudi's futuristic city in the making, also has spanking new film production facilities. Saudi Arabia offers a 40%-plus cash rebate on international film and TV productions. Ever since it lifted its 35-year-old religion-related ban on cinema in 2017, Saudi has been experiencing a boom in all aspects of film industry activity, becoming the Middle East and North Africa's top-grossing territory in terms of theatrical box office returns. Attracting international film and TV productions is clearly a key part of this government-driven effort.

Where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City — Stream Season 2 free from anywhere
Maggie and Negan's story continues in the second season of The Walking Dead spinoff. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City, including a free live streaming option. The Walking Dead: Dead City takes Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) to Manhattan in an attempt to rescue a kidnapped Hershel. Now, the quest for control of the island is on. The show is one of the many spinoffs of the original The Walking Dead, joining The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon to continue the story for some of the most beloved (and reviled) characters from the original series. Dead City first premiered in June 2023 and was quickly renewed for another season, but it's been almost two years since it was last on air, so it's been a long time coming for devoted TWD fans. The premiere is just around the corner, so it's a good time to ensure you know how to watch. We'll show you all the ways you can tune in, including how to watch from anywhere via VPN. Where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City in the US New episodes of The Walking Dead: Dead City will air on AMC on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET. Cord-cutters have a few options for live streaming the show in the US. You can always tune in directly through the AMC Plus app or watch the AMC network through a live TV streaming service such as Philo, Sling TV, DirecTV, or Fubo. Philo is the cheapest way to live stream the AMC network in the US. Subscriptions start at $28/month and come with a seven-day free trial. There's just one Philo plan, and it unlocks 70+ entertainment and lifestyle channels, including Lifetime, TLC, the Hallmark Channel, and the Paramount Network. Sling TV is another popular streaming service with AMC. The network is available in both the Sling Orange and Blue plans, so it's up to you to decide what's right for you (our Sling Orange vs. Blue guide can help you out). Subscriptions start at $46/month, but new users can get 50% off their first month of service. Sling comes with anywhere from 35 to 40+ live channels, depending on your chosen plan. If you're looking for a more expansive live TV streaming package, we recommend trying DirecTV or Fubo. The streaming services, which both start at $85/month, offer many popular cable channels, sports, and local networks. DirecTV comes with a five-day free trial, while Fubo includes a seven-day free trial. Where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City in the UK Sky Max will once again have the UK broadcast rights for The Walking Dead: Dead City. You can stream the channel through a Sky subscription, which varies in price depending on your plan and contract length. You can also live stream it through a Now TV Entertainment subscription, which starts at £10/month with a flexible plan. However, it's important to note that the new season won't become available until the summer in the UK. We expect to see it in June, but we'll keep this page updated once there's a concrete date. Where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City in New Zealand The Walking Dead: Dead City will stream on TVNZ+ in New Zealand. Season 1 is available to stream in full, and new Season 2 episodes are slated to arrive on Mondays at 2 p.m., right around the same time that they air in the US. This is a free streaming option, and users just need to create an account to get started. How to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City from anywhere for free If you're away from New Zealand right now, you can still access the free option by using a VPN, or virtual private network. These handy cybersecurity tools allow you to alter your electronic device's virtual location, so that you can keep up with your go-to websites and apps from almost anywhere in the world.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 trailer The official Walking Dead YouTube channel dropped a trailer for the new season in March.

AMC Networks Misses Estimates, Shares Drop Over 6% as Wall Street Reacts
Missing analyst projections, AMC Networks (AMC, Financials) reported a 10.7% drop in full-year revenue to $2.42 billion. Versus a $388 million profit in 2023, the corporation had a $40 million operating loss for the year as profits suffered from impairment charges and restructuring expenditures. The business reported an operational loss of $254 million, including $302 million in impairment charges; fourth-quarter income dropped 11.7% year-over-year to $599 million. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with AMC. Missing forecasts, fourth-quarter adjusted profits per share came in at $0.64. Wall Street responded adversely; AMC Networks's shares dropped 6.55% to $9.20 Friday at 12:46 p.m. ET. With linear TV customers losing 5% and domestic revenue falling 8.8% to $2.11 billion, the drop indicates investor worries about the company's continuous challenges in conventional TV. Contract expirations and sales of 25/7 Media caused international revenue to plummet 19.6% to $325 million. The UK market helped advertising income drop 11% in the United States but rise 41% elsewhere. Along with growing its Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV business to 19 brands across 12 platforms, AMC Networks extended key affiliate relationships with Charter, Cox, Verizon, and Cable One. With subscribers rising 8% to 12.4 million, streaming income climbed 7% to $603 million. Launching AMCN Outcomes, a data-driven advertising offering, the business presented its 2025 content slate featuring Nautilus, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and Anne Rice's The Talamasca. For domestic operations, the corporation recognized $268.7 million in goodwill impairments; overseas, it recorded $102 million. Restructuring expenses came to $49 million, mostly for cutbacks in programming at BBC America and We TV. With $135 million still allowed, AMC Networks did not buy shares in 2024. The business keeps emphasizing cost-cutting and streaming investments and boosted its free cash flow forecast for 20242025 to $550 million. But the less than anticipated outcomes and continuous difficulties with conventional television have made investors wary about its long-term development possibilities.
