“Holliston” Is Coming Back In 2016!
EW is reporting that the horror/comedy sitcom “Holliston” will be coming back for another season in 2016. The show stars directors Adam Green (Frozen) and Joe Lynch (Chillerama) as the main characters. Also included are their on-show girlfriends, played by Laura Ortiz and Corri English. Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame also returns.
The third season will be 10-episodes and will air on the GeekNation digital network, which is also the host of Green and Lynch’s podcast, “The Movie Crypt”.
Green states:
It’s almost embarrassing to admit but there we were on a quest to find a new outlet for Holliston where we could continue to creatively make the show our way, but also have it distributed on a platform where absolutely anyone who wants to watch it can easily find and enjoy it…and the answer was literally right in front of our noses the entire time.
One of the main characters on the show was GWAR‘s Oderus Urungus, who was played by Dave Brockie. Brockie passed away in March of 2014.
Lynch talks about Brockie’s passing and paying tribute to him by continuing “Holliston“:
It’s crucial to note that Dave was so much more than just a cast member of Holliston. He was a dear friend to all of us and his absence will be deeply felt by everyone in our cast and crew. For Adam especially, he not only writes every single episode but he was also the only actor on the show who shard scenes with ‘Oderus,’ so continuing the series without Dave is an extremely difficult task for him emotionally. It has been a very delicate and slow process to get outselves back to this point. Thankfully, we have an incredibly patient and understanding fanbase that has supported us unconditionally and that has mourned with us through all of this. Our fans appreciate that we’re real people who have to heal from our loss and that we’re not just fictional characters on their screens, despite the fact that we all play versions of ourselves in a way.
Green adds:
As cliché as it might sound, no one would want to see Holliston continue more than Dave. On the season 2 behind-the-scenes-Blu-ray making-of feature, Dave says directly to the camera that ‘Holliston is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.’ It’s been a long heartbreaking road, but we’re at a point now where we’re back on our feet and we’re ready to laugh once again. Last week, the main cast got together to table-read some of the new material for the first time and we could all feel without a doubt that no one was laughing louder or harder than Dave.
“Holliston” returns summer of 2016.
