One of the projects that caught my attention out of this year's Sundance was a horror-comedy series called SNATCHERS. I'm a big fan of horror-comedy on TV – with ASH VS EVIL DEAD leading the pack – and I have heard mucho good word-of-mouth on the series and Verizon’s go90 and Stage 13 announced today that the series will premiere exclusively on go90 June 22nd!
The eight-episode series mark Stage 13’s first series launch and will be available on go90’s XO and Saga channels. New episodes premiere every Thursday with the first two episodes launching June 22nd.

SNATCHERS synopsis:
Sara, a status-obsessed high school student, who, to preserve her social standing, has sex for the first time and unexpectedly wakes up pregnant…really pregnant. Things take an interesting turn the morning after she loses her virginity when she quickly discovers she’s pregnant with an alien baby screaming to get out. Now she’ll have to team up with her nerdy ex-best friend Hayley to fight against an extraterrestrial threat, and hopefully, keep her mom and friends from finding out about her alien offspring.
