Into The Badlands Season 2 will air between The Walking Dead and Talking Dead
Season 2 of Into The Badlands will air between The Walking Dead and Talking Dead. Will fans be as annoyed as they were the last time AMC did that?
AMC is going to try to recapture the high ratings from the series premiere by airing the Into The Badlands Season 2 premiere between The Walking Dead and Talking Dead again. The Season 2 premiere of Into the Badlands will air on March 25th, 2017.

Anyone else confused by this article? I can't tell whether JUST the premiere of BL Season 2 that will air between TWD and TTD and March 25 is Saturday. Ahhhh ...

Welp, AMC's decisions is likely going to tank "Into the Badlands", by trying to "force fans" to watch, just as last year when the promos of TWD aired during Badlands. So many fans noped out just based upon sheer irritation.
I watch Badlands and it is a good enough series by itself (for the genre to which it belongs) to not need this, although it lacks TWD's huge ratings. Every other AMC show lack's TWD's levels of viewing except for Talking Dead so this movie may shed form TD viewers as well. Guess somebody is nervous at AMC.
TWD viewers made it clear this year they do not being force-fed anything, so I hope that hasn't turned off too many potential ITB viewers. It is a show with a relatively high cost to make compared to something like Talking Dead, Talking Fear or even Better Call Saul, and I would hate for it to fail just because some idiot decided to cram it down the throats of TWD viewers.

Sexual Chocolate the way I read this - TWD airs at 9:00 EST - According to these articles, Badlands will air at 10:00 EST (usual time slot for TTD) - TTD will air at 11:00 EST. What I can't tell from either article is whether or not it's just the Premiere of Season 2 BL or will it continue to be sandwiched between the two until 7B is finished. ????

As someone who enjoys both shows, I'm disappointed that TPTB are wedging Badlands between Walking and Talking Dead. I'm a creature of habit, and I prefer the venting that happens immediately after TWD. But I'm also hooked on Badlands, because it is a high-quality and very intriguing show. I was eagerly awaiting the 2nd season. From promos I've seen, this next season will really bring on the action and suspense. But the truth is, I'm a working stiff and cannot stay up half the night waiting for Talking Dead. I'll have to catch that On Demand.
Badlands is a good enough show and has gained quite a following that I would think TPTB wouldn't have to shove it down TWD viewers' throats yet again. I hope Talking Dead ratings drop dramatically, although I don't know if TIIC would even get that obvious of a message.

I don't understand why Badlands won't air on Mondays instead of between TWD and TD IF it is for the whole season 2. So I just asked @amc_TV on Twitter whether it is for the premiere or whole season. Will update if I get a response.

That makes no sense and will probably be as ineffective as their other recent marketing strategies (acorns, anyone?)
If they want "into the badlands" to increase its audience maybe they should put out some promotions that isn't 28 seconds straight of people fighting. It's nice to hear that some here are enjoying it, but if I went by what I've seen advertised I'd think it was an add for a live action video game.
All I can see this doing is make TTDs ratings go down. It's Sunday night...people need to go to work the next day, put kids to bed, etc. I just don't see an 11pm airtime working. Will be interesting to see if it's just one ep or the air time moving forward.

TY Ripley for contacting AMC's twitter. I don't feel like AMC is forcing Badlands down my throat. In fact when that occurred last year, I used that hour in between TWD and TTD to look for reviews to post here. But ... I like the Sunday lineup to follow the established routine. I always look forward to the 2nd showing of the episode after TTD. If it's just the premiere - that will be fine IMO. I agree those with families and work the next day - pushing things an hour behind can be an issue.
