[Teaser] Joe Hill’s “NOS4A2” Comes to AMC This Summer!
During the return episode of “The Walking Dead” tonight, AMC dropped the first teaser for their supernatural horror series “NOS4A2,“ based on the novel by author Joe Hill.
The short teaser, found below, announces a Summer 2019 premiere for the series!
Set in blue-collar New England, “NOS4A2” follows the coming of age of Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings), who discovers she has the power to find lost things. Her gift sets her on a collision course with Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto), a supernatural villain who abducts children in his mysterious Rolls Royce Wraith.
EW previously explained that Manx periodically rejuvenates by feeding on the lifeforces of children and transports them to a fantasy world he has created called Christmasland.
“In the journey they become these ghoulish creatures, and Charlie Manx is fed with vitality and youth,” Quinto told the site.
The pilot is set to premiere at the forthcoming SXSW Film Festival.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his “Widow’s Bay” review for Bloody Disgusting, “Season One makes a perfect first impression, and its debut is strong enough that viewers will want to set up permanent residency there. There’s an excellent sense of storytelling, character development, and an engaging mystery that’s strengthened through pitch-perfect horror and comedy.
The series takes place in a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England and follows the town’s mayor as he attempts to revitalize the community despite a very pesky curse that unleashes horror of all varieties.
Season one is directed and executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Hiro Murai (“Barry“, “Atlanta”). Murai helms five of the 10-episode season, in addition to directors Ti West (The X Trilogy, “Them”), Sam Donovan (“Severance”), and Andrew DeYoung (Friendship).
The inaugural season wrapped last month and has already been renewed for season two.
