The crime thriller will debut this Sunday, after the finale of ‘The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live’.
AMC is putting its new crime thriller miniseries Parish in the fast lane to success en route to its debut. Its premiere episode will run completely ad-free when it airs this Sunday. Variety reports that the episode will air uninterrupted, save for a sponsor message from Crown Royal, when it makes its first bow sandwiched between the latest two entries in AMC’s undying Walking Dead franchise. Parish will debut at 10:15 PM, following the first-season finale of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and will be immediately followed up by a first look at “The Book of Carol”, the second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
Says AMC chief marketing officer Kim Granito, “What better way to kick off this high-octane, thrill ride of a show than to present the premiere episode commercial-free coming out of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live finale and with a sneak peek of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Book of Carol at the other end.” The series marks a return to AMC for its star, Giancarlo Esposito, who ascended to new heights of fame thanks to his performance as merciless drug lord Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and its spinoff, Better Call Saul.
What is ‘Parish’?
Parish was created by Danny Brocklehurst (Fool Me Once) and Jim Poyser (Breeders). Eduardo Javier Canto & Ryan Maldonado (Death and Other Details) are the series’ showrunners; they also executive produce alongside Esposito, Brocklehurst, Poyser, Theo Travers, Jolyon Symonds and Morrissey for Scribbler Films, Josh Kesselman, Danny Sherman, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, and Red Production’s Nicola Shindler.
Parish premieres this Sunday, April 31, at 10:15 PM EST on AMC.
