AMC Networks’ Shudder has renewed “Creepshow” for a second season ahead of the season one finale, which will premiere on the horror streaming service on Halloween.
The renewal comes on the heels of the network announcing a record-breaking season for the anthology series.
- Episode 1 had more minutes streamed in its opening weekend (September 26-29) than any title in Shudder’s history, nearly equal to the #2, #3 and #4 titles combined.
- The first week of Creepshow set a record for total minutes streamed on the service … a record that has been broken in each of the three weeks since.
- The series is bringing in record numbers of new Shudder members, so far delivering the 14 best subscriber acquisition days in Shudder history, and 21 of the top 25 days.
- Creepshow has been as big a hit with critics as it has with fans. At 96% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, it is one of the best-reviewed new shows of 2019.
Executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (“The Walking Dead”), “Creepshow” is based on the cult classic 1982 movie written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero.
Nicotero commemorated the renewal news by sharing the below image he created on social media.
