“Into the Dark” Celebrates the Ides of March with ‘Treehouse’ Image Gallery
This month, Hulu celebrated Valentine’s Day with the “Into the Dark” episode “Down”, directed by The Last Exorcism‘s Danial Stamm.
As previously reported, March’s episode takes on the Ides of March, which is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to the 15th of the month. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts.
James Roday (“Blood Drive”) writes and directs “Treehouse” (watch the trailer), the tale of celebu-chef, Peter Rake, who tries to escape a recent wave of negative tabloid exposure by retreating to his family’s vacation estate in the woods. But the ghosts of Peter’s past are everywhere and debts will be settled. Soon, he realizes that a woman’s place is anywhere that she chooses to be.
The episode stars Jimmi Simpson (“Westworld”, “Black Mirror”), Mary McCormack (1408, Deep Impact), Shaunette Renee Wilson (Black Panther), Maggie Lawson (Gamer), Stephanie Beatriz (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Julianna Guill, Michael Weston, Amanda Walsh, Sutton Foster, and Cass Bugge.

“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.
