AMC has opted to pass on both of the drama pilots it produced this year as prospective series for 2015.
The decision to nix series orders for “Galyntine” and “Knifeman” comes as the cabler has at least four new series on tap for next year, starting in February with the much-anticipated “Breaking Bad” prequel “Better Call Saul.”
The cabler also has martial arts dramas “Badlands,” which earned a straight to series order in July, and the futuristic robot drama “Humans,” a co-production with Channel 4 that AMC took over from Xbox Studios a few months ago. AMC is also closing in on a deal with the BBC to nab the espionage-themed limited-series “The Night Manager,” toplined by Hugh Laurie.
There’s also a strong prospect that a “Walking Dead” companion series will be greenlit. Another project, “Preacher,” based a graphic novel about a maverick Texas clergyman, is said to be heating up for a pilot order.
