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.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
