The first season of AMC’s Joe Hill adaptation “NOS4A2” comes to an end later this month, and we’ve learned today that the series will then shortly thereafter arrive on Shudder!
Shudder has announced today that “NOS4A2” will be coming to the US and Canada starting August 8. New episodes of the 10-episode series will be added every Thursday.
“Showrunner Jami O’Brien and her cast have done an amazing job bringing Joe Hill’s gripping novel to life,” said Shudder GM Craig Engler. “NOS4A2 is one of the best new horror series in years, and we’re beyond thrilled to bring it to Shudder members.”
The series stars Emmy®-nominated actor and producer Zachary Quinto, Ashleigh Cummings, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Virginia Kull, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Jahkara Smith.
“NOS4A2” introduces Vic McQueen (Cummings), a gifted young woman who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. This ability puts her on a collision course with the evil and immortal Charlie Manx (Quinto). Manx is a supernatural villain who feeds off the souls of children then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – a twisted place of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.
“NOS4A2” is produced by AMC Studios in association with Tornante Television. The series is executive produced by Joe Hill, Jami O’Brien (Fear The Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels), who created the show for television and serves as showrunner, and Lauren Corrao, Co-President of Tornante Television. Hill has also contributed a story to Shudder’s upcoming original series “Creepshow,” premiering later this year.
