Shudder is looking to send more shivers down the spines of subscribers after renewing Creepshow for a third season.
Shudder unearthed the renewal ahead of AMC Networks’ virtual TCA winter press tour presentation, revealing that the third season will consist of six brand-new episodes, and feature guest stars Ethan Embry (Grace & Frankie) and Andrew Bachelor (The Walking Dead). News about the Season 3 pick-up comes before Creepshow's Season 2 premiere on April 1.
“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.”
Based on George A. Romero’s 1982 movie of the same name, Creepshow is produced by the Cartel with Monster Agency Productions, Taurus Entertainment, and Striker Entertainment. Exec producers include Nicotero, Stan Spry, Jeff Holland, Eric Woods, Brian Witten, Robert Dudelson, James Dudelson, Jordan Kizwani, and Russell Binder. Geoff Silverman, Anthony Fankhauser, Julia Hobgood, and Marc Mostman are co-exec producers. Mitchell Galin serves as the anthology's producer.
