Hulu Has Renewed Anthology Series “Into the Dark” for Another Year of Holiday Horrors
Hulu launched the Blumhouse-produced anthology series “Into the Dark” last October, subsequently delivering on their ambitious promise to bring new feature length, holiday-themed horror films every single month for an entire year. With the first season soon coming to an end, Vulture reveals today that Hulu has renewed “Into the Dark” for a second season.
The site notes, “Hulu has ordered nine more episodes, on top of the 15 episodes it previously greenlit, ensuring the series will remain in production through September 2020.”
“What we want to replicate is the kind of the filmmaker-driven vision for the films,” Blumhouse TV’s co-president Marci Wiseman told the site. “We’ve brought Hulu filmmakers who are vision first, script later, and they have been unbelievable partners in letting us build this collection.”
“The idea is diversity of entertainment within the collection rather than sameness,” Wiseman added. “We lean into the fact that it’s a fun experience to come every month and you don’t quite know what’s coming, rather than seeing something expected.”
The second season of animated spinoff “Velma” is now streaming on Max, and it sounds like Velma and the “Scooby-Doo” gang may also be headed back into the world of live action.
Variety reports this afternoon that Netflix is planning a live action “Scooby-Doo” television series, with the streamer actively “nearing a deal” with Warner Bros. Television.
The series is being described in Variety’s report as a “one-hour drama project,” with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg attached to write and executive produce.
Executive producers on the upcoming “Scooby-Doo” Netflix series also include André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner for Midnight Radio, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman executive producing through Berlanti Productions. Varierty’s report continues, “Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.”
“Scooby-Doo” has mostly been an animated series over the years, but there were two live action movies in 2002 and 2004: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The live action cast for those two films included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma.
