[Exclusive] Weekly Series “The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs” Coming to Shudder March 29th!
Last year, Shudder and legendary horror host Joe Bob Briggs damn near broke the internet with “The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs,“ a 24-hour marathon that was so popular it subsequently spawned “Joe Bob’s Dinners of Death” on Thanksgiving night and then “A Very Joe Bob Christmas” in December. What’s next? A weekly series!
Proving once again that “the drive-in will never die,” Joe Bob Briggs is back with an all-new “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs” series exclusively on Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers, and the supernatural. The nine-episode original series will consist of weekly double features streaming live every Friday night at 9:00 p.m ET/ 6:00 p.m. PT, beginning March 29 and concluding on Friday, May 24, Memorial Day Weekend. Episodes will also be made available on demand at a later time.
The Last Drive-In series marks Briggs’ return to weekly on-screen appearances for the first time since ending his run on TNT’s MonsterVision in 2000.
“We’ve had The Last Drive-In 24-hour marathon, The Last Drive-In Thanksgiving marathon, and The Last Drive-In Christmas marathon, but the Shudder audience kept asking for some kind of programming that didn’t require sleep deprivation and controlled substances,” said Briggs. “The double features we chose for the weekly series range over five decades and include everything from classics to obscurities to foreign cult offerings, with a handful of guests who have agreed to play around with us in our Texas trailer park. I don’t want to say we got carried away with the possibilities here, but we kind of got carried away with the possibilities here.”

“The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs” series is produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
