"Creepshow" Scares Up Second Season at Shudder

The only thing more fitting than Shudder's horror anthology series Creepshow having its season-ender on Halloween is choosing "Devil's Eve" to offer fans a special treat. AMC Networks' premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural has officially ordered a second season of the horror anthology series. Executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (​The Walking Dead), Creepshow is based on the iconic 1982 movie written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero.

"For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love. To be able to pay tribute to George A. Romero's visionary project and have the show so embraced by fans everywhere is humbling to this horror kid from Pittsburgh. I couldn't be more pleased and look forward to continuing the series with more ghoulish delight."

– Greg Nicotero

Combining an "old-school" horror approach with a modern take of some classic themes, Shudder's first hour-long scripted series has been feeling the love from fans and critics alike. Watched by more than 50% of the streaming service's members, the series is sitting "horrifically pretty" with a "92% Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Creepshow has met every expectation we had for Shudder's first original scripted series and then some, with record numbers across the board. Greg Nicotero and his team delivered an amazing show that's unlike anything else on TV and we're thrilled and delighted to bring it back for another season."

– Craig Engler, GM, Shudder

This season of Shudder's Creepshow starred David Arquette (​Scream films), Adrienne Barbeau (​The Fog), Tobin Bell (​Saw films), Big Boi (​Scream: The TV Series), Jeffrey Combs (​Star Trek, Re-Animator), Kid Cudi (Drunk Parents), Bruce Davison (​X-Men), Giancarlo Esposito (​Better Call Saul), Dana Gould (​Stan Against Evil), Tricia Helfer (​Battlestar Galactica), and DJ Qualls (Supernatural) and features adaptations of stories by Stephen King, Joe Hill, Joe R. Lansdale, Josh Malerman, and others. Nicotero's Oscar, BAFTA and Emmy award-winning Make-up Effects studio KNB EFX GROUP will again serve as creature creators.
