“Joe Bob Ruins Christmas” On Shudder This December With “The Last Drive-In” Holiday Special
What’s a holiday without “The Last Drive-in” on Shudder? Just ahead of the holidays, horror host Joe Bob Briggs announced his return with an all new holiday special this December.
Last December, Joe Bob Briggs spread holiday cheer on Shudder with “The Last Drive-In” special, “Joe Bob Saves Christmas.” In addition to hosting duties and stretching the definition of holiday horror, the special raised funds for multiple charities through the event’s live auction.
Briggs returns to Shudder next month with a brand-new holiday special, “Joe Bob Ruins Christmas.”
The horror host took to Twitter to announce the event, coming to Shudder on Friday, December 17, at 9pm ET.
We're baaaack! It's an auction, it's a telethon, and it's the kind of genre-bending movie choices that are guaranteed to make you say "Huh? What? Explain that one again." Join us for a major distortion of what Christmas is all about. Friday December 17, 9 p.m. Eastern/6 Pacific. pic.twitter.com/DFZkGD2T5c

Briggs once again promises to bring a new batch of titles that’ll confound viewers. Also back is the live auction format, which raised over $40,000 for charities in 2020 while giving fans the chance to snag rare collectibles from the host and Darcy the Mail Girl.
Will they top their charity donations this holiday season?

Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
