Unknown: Craig Macneill, Jonathan Nolan team for Amazon anthology

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Craig William Macneill and Clay McLeod Chapman, the team behind the 2015 film The Boy (not the one with Brahms – watch it HERE), are joining forces with Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Kilter Films to bring a horror anthology series called Unknown to Amazon.

Unknown is described as 

a psychological horror anthology series that plunges into the corners of the American landscape, probing the intersection of folklore and our bloody history of true crime.

This will be the sort of anthology that tells a different story each season, not each episode. The first season will focus on 

an estranged brother and sister, who return to the Texas Killing Fields, only to encounter a dark spirit that inhabits the region from their childhood.

The Texas Killing Fields is a patch of land where the bodies of around thirty murder victims were discovered between 1971 and 2016.

Since The Boy, Macneill has directed the Chloe Sevigny / Kristen Stewart film Lizzie (watch that HERE) and episodes of the TV shows Channel Zero, The Twilight Zone, Castle Rock, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, NOS4A2, Monsterland, and Them. He's also directing the first episode of the I Know What You Did Last Summer series for Amazon.
