AMC today announced that the three trailers it unveiled at Comic-Con International this past weekend have attracted 24 million views across digital platforms as of this morning.

The trailer for the martial arts drama "Into the Badlands," which will premiere in November, has attracted 1.95 million views since its release on Saturday.

"Comic-Con International is an important way for us to connect with fans and share fresh new ideas and content," said Charlie Collier, president of AMC and SundanceTV. "Everything we do at these events is designed to satisfy fans. There really is nothing like getting our casts, producers and creators together with the most passionate viewers, those who watch, interact with and celebrate our content all year long."

"The Walking Dead" was the most engaging program present at Comic-Con, tracking with a ListentFirst DAR-TV rating of 9 million between July 9-12, approximately 83% ahead of any other show.
