Teaser for Third Season of Netflix’s “Slasher” Series
Originally a Chiller production, “Slasher” has gone on to have two very successful seasons. They’re so well-received that Netflix has moved forward on a third, as we reported a few months back.
Backcountry and Pyewacket‘s Adam MacDonald directed the entire third season of the Netflix horror anthology series, “Slasher”, for Canadian creator and original content producer, Shaftesbury. The first ever teaser art was released this week and promises that we’re in for the longest night of the year when “The Druid” attacks.
We’re told the third season of “Slasher”:
“Follows a killer seeking revenge on witnesses to a murder in an apartment complex.”
The series was created and executive produced by Aaron Martin (“Degrassi: The Next Generation”, “Being Erica”) who also served as showrunner for the first two seasons. Martin is currently showrunning the upcoming Netflix Sci-Fi Drama “Another Life.” Ian Carpenter (“Frankie Drake Mysteries”) serves as executive producer/showrunner on the third season.
Watch for more info as the 2019 date is revealed.
The spooky comic book series Afterlife with Archie is getting a live action television series adaptation from Disney+, and Deadline reports that it’ll premiere for Halloween 2027.
The upcoming series from Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions brings to life the comic book from Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla.
Afterlife with Archie turns the town of Riverdale into a zombie-overrun apocalypse — where the only thing scarier than the undead is trying to survive your teenage years…
“When a supernatural spell from a certain teen-witch backfires, unleashing an army of the possessed dead upon Riverdale, Archie and his friends must fight to stay alive, testing the friendships, romances, and loyalties that have always held them together.”
“Afterlife with Archie has always been about more than just zombies — it’s about the friendships, loyalty and humanity that make Riverdale worth fighting for,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Kids & Family. “Roberto, Greg, Sarah and Jon have such a deep appreciation for these characters, and they’ve built something that’s equal parts thrilling and heartfelt. Fans are going to fall hard for this new version of the gang … and maybe scream a little too.”
“The world of Archie and Riverdale is the gift that keeps on giving,” said Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks. “To bring Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s incredible story to life with our partners at Berlanti Productions, Archie Comics and Disney+ is a thrill for all of us at WBTVG.”
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) will write the series.
“This was the comic book that started it all. Before there was a Riverdale, before there was a Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, there was Afterlife with Archie, which I collaborated on with the best horror artist in the business, Francesco Francavilla,” Aguirre-Sacasa said. “Getting to turn Afterlife into a TV series for the amazing team at Disney+ with our incredible partners at Berlanti Productions, WB and, of course, Jon (Goldwater) and his Archie family is truly a full-circle moment — and the ultimate dream project for me. Time to say a prayer for Archie, Betty, Veronica and the whole gang, ‘cause THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!!!!”
