Super Channel Sets April Premiere for Original Series Slasher

EDMONTON: The Canadian pay-TV network Super Channel has slated its new original psychological thriller Slasher for an April 1 debut.

The eight-episode series was developed and produced by Shaftesbury in association with Super Channel and Chiller. It is written and created by Aaron Martin (Killjoys, Being Erica) and directed by Craig David Wallace (Todd and the Book of Pure Evil). The thriller makes its debut on April 1 at 9 p.m. and each episode will be made available on Super Channel On Demand the day following its initial broadcast.

Slasher stars Katie McGrath (Jurassic World, Dracula, Merlin) as Sarah Bennett, a young woman who returns to the small town where she was born, only to find herself the centerpiece in a series of horrifying copycat murders based on the widely known, grisly killings of her parents. Sarah finds herself questioning everything and everyone around her, including her husband, Dylan (Brandon Jay McLaren, Graceland, The Killing), her grandmother Brenda Merritt (Wendy Crewson, Saving Hope, Revenge), family friend Cam Henry (Steve Byers, The Man in the High Castle) and the town’s police chief, Iain Vaughn (Dean McDermott, Ecstasy, CSI).
