“The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs” is coming to an end — but fear not, because the drive-in will never die.
Shudder has announced the bummer news that tonight’s Season 7 finale will bring the beloved series to a close, but Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl will return for four brand new specials on Shudder throughout the rest of the year.
In the series finale, the horror hosts will celebrate the weirdly wonderful world of genre cinema with a double feature. They’ll also take a look back at seven years at the drive-in.
The final episode airs tonight, March 6, at 9pm ET on Shudder and AMC+, and will be available on demand beginning Sunday, March 8.
The first of four new specials, Joe Bob’s Wicked Witchy Wingding, will follow on April 24 at 9pm ET. The double feature of occult flicks continues Briggs’ eternal campaign to establish Walpurgisnacht as an American horror holiday.
“Joe Bob Briggs has been a Shudder staple since 2018, when his original 13-movie marathon ‘broke the internet,’” said Courtney Thomasma, EVP, Linear and Streaming Products. “Since then, he and Darcy the Mail Girl have continued to delight Shudder fans with double features and seasonal specials tailored to horror buffs and cinephiles alike, always offering plenty of surprises. We look forward to sharing these four new specials with Drive-In Mutants everywhere.”
“The Last Drive-in” is directed by Austin Jennings and produced by Matt Manjourides & Justin Martell of Not the Funeral Home (Night of the Reaper, Street Trash 2024).
Across seven seasons and numerous specials over the last eight years, Briggs and Darcy have hosted over 200 movies on Shudder.
