Web3 entertainment company Orange Comet Inc. and AMC Networks have expanded their partnership to launch NFTs and virtual environments for AMC’s franchise: The Immortal Universe of Anne Rice. 

The firms have also expanded the scope for The Walking Dead NFT Collection.

The Anne Rice metaverse was launched on Sunday with AMC’s Anne’s Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, and will be followed by Anne Rice’s The Mayfair Witches early next year.

New NFTs for both franchises--The Walking Dead Universe and The Immortal Universe of Anne Rice--will be offered on OpenSea in a custom Orange Comet marketplace. 

The Walking Dead’s next NFT collection mints on Oct. 5. It will feature Signature 3D Avatars, including hand-sculpted recreations of fan favorite characters such as Daryl, Rick and Carol.

This follows a successful earlier launch. 

“The first mint initiated a fan frenzy among dedicated supporters of  The Walking Dead, selling out in less than an hour,” said Dave Broome, CEO of Orange Comet.
