Creepshow Renewed for Second Season

Shudder, the AMC Networks streaming service for horror, thriller and supernatural titles, has ordered a season two of the horror anthology series Creepshow.

Executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (​The Walking Dead), Creepshow is based on the iconic 1982 movie written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero. Season one of the series, which airs its finale tonight (October 31), counts among its stars David Arquette (Scream franchise) and features adaptations of stories by King, Joe Hill, Joe R. Lansdale, Josh Malerman and others.

Shudder’s ​Creepshow is produced by the Cartel with Monster Agency Productions, Taurus Entertainment and Striker Entertainment.

Craig Engler, Shudder general manager, said: “Creepshow has met every expectation we had for Shudder’s first original scripted series and then some, with record numbers across the board. Greg Nicotero and his team delivered an amazing show that’s unlike anything else on TV and we’re thrilled and delighted to bring it back for another season.”

Nicotero added: “For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love. To be able to pay tribute to George A. Romero’s visionary project and have the show so embraced by fans everywhere is humbling to this horror kid from Pittsburgh. I couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to continuing the series with more ghoulish delight.”

Stan Spry, executive producer for the series and CEO of the Cartel, commented: “Working with Greg Nicotero and Shudder on Creepshow has been a dream come true. We’re thrilled to carry on the Creepshow legacy with season two.”
