“Hausen”: Haunted Building Devours Its Residents in Trailer for German Series [Video]
“This house is not just a building.”
Sky customers are in for a Halloween treat with “Hausen”, described as a “Haunted House” series that combines horror, mystery, dark fairy tales and drama.
In the series, “After the death of his mother, 16-year-old Juri (Tristan Göbel) and his father Jaschek (Charly Hübner) move into a run-down prefabricated building on the outskirts of the city. While Jaschek tries to build a new existence for himself and his son as the caretaker of the ailing building, Juri gradually discovers that the house has a vicious life of its own and feeds on the suffering of its residents.
“In order to fight it, Juri has to get the partly hostile, partly apathetic block population to work together – and to rebel against his father, who is increasingly falling under the spell of the house.”
Thomas Stuber directed the eight episodes for Lago Film on behalf of Sky Deutschland.
“Hausen” will be the big Halloween event for Sky customers: From October 29th, two new episodes will be broadcast daily on Sky Atlantic and all episodes already shown will be repeated in advance. The entire season will be available on demand via Sky Ticket and Sky Q from October 29th.
No word on a U.S. release just yet.
AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
