Aisha Dee Joins Cast of “Channel Zero: No-End House”
The Syfy series returns later this year.
“Few people would have expected Syfy to deliver one of the best pieces of serious horror entertainment of the year, but they most certainly did,” wrote our own Luiz H.C. last year, summing up the general consensus that “Channel Zero” was one of 2016’s best shows. The anthology series will tell brand new, six-episode stories each new season, and the second is on its way.
Deadline reports today that actress Aisha Dee (“Chasing Life”) has been cast as a series regular in the second season, “Channel Zero: No-End House.” She will play the stubbornly independent Jules, who is described as loyal to her longtime best friend/main character Margot (Amy Forsyth); though she doesn’t always know how to deal with messy emotional situations.
Inspired by Brian Russell’s Creepypasta tale, “Channel Zero: No-End House” tells the story of a young woman named Margot Sleator who visits the No-End House: a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms. When she returns home, Margot realizes that everything has changed. John Carroll Lynch also co-stars.
Nick Antosca returns as executive producer, showrunner and writer for the second installment of “Channel Zero,” alongside executive producer Max Landis. Steven Piet directed all six episodes. Harley Peyton (“Twin Peaks”) is writer-co-executive producer, while Don Mancini (“Hannibal”, creator of Child’s Play) also serves as a writer-supervising producer.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
