“The X-Files” Alum Investigates “The Haunting of Hill House”
Annabeth Gish has booked a recurring role in “The Haunting of Hill House”, Netflix’s 10-episode straight-to-series modern re-imagining of Shirley Jackson’s classic 1959 novel, reports Deadline.
Gish is coming off her role as Diane Gould in “Halt and Catch Fire” which recently wrapped its fourth and final season. She’ll also be reprising her role as Monica Reyes in the upcoming season of “The X-Files”, which premieres in January on Fox.
The Netflix version of “The Haunting of Hill House” draws from the original classic ghost story while expanding on the mythology of the Crane family. Gish will play Mrs. Dudley, but as with all the others, character details are being kept under wraps. She joins previously cast Carla Gugino, Michael Huisman, Timothy Hutton Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel and Henry Thomas.
The series hails from Mike Flanagan (Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus, Hush, Gerald’s Game), Steven Spielberg’s Amblin TV and Paramount TV. Flanagan is writing and directing as well as executive producing alongside his producing partner, Trevor Macy, and Amblin TV’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
