If season two of Creepshow anthology series left you clamoring for more, season three is already on the way! Horror streaming service Shudder has set September 23 for Creepshow’s third season premiere.

The announcement was made during Amazon’s Comic-Con@Home panel today, which saw showrunner and executive producer Greg Nicotero, along with writer Mattie Do, director Rusty Cundieff, and guest cast members Michael Rooker and James Remar as they chat about the series’ newest monsters, stories, and homages.

Nicotero teased that Cundieff would direct a segment called “Mums,” written by Nicotero based on the Joe Hill short of the same name from his short story collection Full Throttle. The segment will star Ethan Embry.

For Creepshow newcomer Mattie Do, Nicotero gushed that the writer came up with a “creature unlike anything I’ve ever seen before or imagined.” Do elaborates on how she infused her Southeast Asian heritage into her creature creation, “We have this monster, typically female, that becomes extremely hungry, so its head detaches from the body and its entrails and heart hang from its neck. It eats you.” The panel, below in full, teased a clip from her segment “Drug Traffic,” which stars Michael Rooker.

The panel revealed that season three will contain six episodes. Jonathan Schaech, Reid Scott, and Hannah Fierman will also guest star in Season 3. Creepshow Season 2 will make its linear premiere on AMC on Monday, September 6, 2021.

Creepshow Season 3 premieres Thursday, September 23 on Shudder as well as via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle.

Don’t Forget There’s an “Alien” TV Series Too! Here’s the Latest Update

There’s a lot going on in the world of Alien at the moment. The original classic is returning to theaters, for starters, and the Xenomorphs will be fighting Marvel’s superheroes in the upcoming mashup comic Aliens vs. Avengers. Of course, the main event for 2024 is Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, a brand new big screen movie set between Alien and Aliens!

With so much going on, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Disney is also working on an “Alien” television series, in the works for FX from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”).

The Alien franchise’s first ever television series is likely to arrive sometime in 2025, set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.

FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

So what’s the latest on the “Alien” TV series? Deadline reports today that filming is underway in Thailand, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”) is the latest actor to sign on.

According to Deadline’s report this morning, the series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien – dealing with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”

Deadline adds in today’s casting report, “We understand that Sencindiver appears in multiple eps and will play a senior member of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.”

Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling), Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) star in the upcoming sci-fi/horror series.

Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
