The CW Will Deliver More “Two Sentence Horror Stories” This Fall
The CW‘s fall schedule was announced today and on that schedule is a brand new second season of “Two Sentence Horror Stories,” the half-hour anthology horror series that debuted on the network last year.
The series will return on Wednesday nights in Quarter 4, 2020.
“Two Sentence Horror Stories” began its life as a five-episode short-form digital series back in 2017.
Created/executive produced by Vera Miao (Best Friends Forever), the series features contemporary tales of horror and haunting for the diverse and digital age.
Inspired by the viral fan fiction of two sentence horror stories, this anthology series taps into universal primal fears, filtered through the anxieties of the most connected and racially diverse generation.
Despite dizzying advancements in technology, inequality, social progress, and environmental degradation…the things that haunt us are still the same.
Miao executive produces with Emily Wiedemann (Creative Control) and Chazz Carfora (Stories From The Felt) for Stage 13 in association with Warner Bros.
Henry Cavill had been set to lead Amazon MGM Studios’ “Warhammer 40,000” series a few years ago, and the small screen project finally gets a fresh update this week.
According to Deadline, horror master Mike Flanagan (“Carrie”) is currently in talks to come on board the “Warhammer” TV series as an Executive Producer.
Deadline also notes in today’s report, “It’s still being determined if the Doctor Sleep filmmaker will be showrunning the Henry Cavill passion project.”
Henry Cavill is set to both star in and executive produce the upcoming series, with Amazon MGM Studios potentially looking to also bring “Warhammer” into the world of film.
“Warhammer 40,000 is set in the far future, where humanity stands at the edge of what might be its brightest future, or its darkest age.
“The threats to humankind’s empire are many — traitors driven by the fires of ambition, alien empires sworn to reclaim the stars, and the corruption of reality by malevolent gods.”
Vertigo Entertainment will executive produce alongside Games Workshop and Amazon Studios.
“Warhammer 40,000 has captured the imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios. “We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.”
“I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility,” said Henry Cavill. “I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon Studios and Games Workshop to make this happen. One step closer to making a nigh on lifelong dream come true.”
