Just announced by AMC at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, Chris Hardwick (“Talking Dead”) will be producing a forthcoming scripted series that’s set to dive deep into the dark side of popular culture.
It’s titled “Underbelly,” and it “uses the lens of the horror genre.”
This anthology explores storylines related to the fan experience, celebrity, greed, alienation, obsession, and vanity.
Via AMC, “The sensibility of the series is darkly funny, shocking, subversive, and trippy. If pop culture is a kind of new religion, this show is the deranged heretic who interrupts the service and gets thrown out.”
The series is A Fish Ladder Production (Chris Hardwick, Mike Clements). Dan Connolly will serve as executive producer.
