It’s a big day for fans of Shudder’s Creepshow. Today the streaming service announced from the Television Critics’ Association (TCA) Press Tour that the series had been renewed for a third season of six episodes, which will premiere later this year. The renewal comes ahead of the series’ season two debut on Shudder and AMC+.
“During our season two production, Shudder was so pleased with what they were seeing that they asked us to roll right into production on a brand-new third season that will feature some of our most ambitious stories yet,” said executive producer and showrunner Greg Nicotero. “I’m incredibly thankful to the team at Shudder for the opportunity to continue honoring the genre with more gleefully ghoulish tales over not one, but two new seasons of Creepshow this year.”
Actors Ethan Embry (“Grace and Frankie”) and Andrew Bachelor, aka King Bach (“King Bachelor’s Pad”), will join as guest stars in season three, with more guest stars to be announced.
Following the news, Shudder also released the official trailer for the upcoming second season, along with a series of first-look images. Check out the trailer below:
In its first season, “Creepshow” smashed records for Shudder in the number of viewers, new subscriber sign-ups, and total minutes streamed to become the most-watched program in Shudder history, followed by a successful run on AMC.
