‘Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain’ – Devon Sawa to Star in Season 2 of Shudder Horror Anthology
Genre favorite Devon Sawa (“Chucky,” Final Destination) is checking into “Hell Motel.”
Currently in production, the second season of Shudder‘s horror anthology series from “Slasher” creators Aaron Martin & Ian Carpenter is titled “Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain.”
“Set at a mountain resort known for eliminating people’s inhibitions and amplifying their desires, the new season continues to reveal the chilling consequences of surrendering to our darkest impulses amidst the unique Cold River landscape.
“As guests and staff go missing without explanation and violent incidents increase, it becomes clear that Red Mountain has a long, horrific history for a reason and that no one is safe.”
Sawa stars as Patrick, a man with a thirst for alternative facts and theories who comes to the resort to look into historic mysteries tied to Red Mountain.
Additional cast members will be announced at a later date.
Martin and Carpenter serve as showrunners in addition to executive producing alongside Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, and director Adam MacDonald (Backcountry, This Is Not a Test).
“We’re thrilled to open a chilling new chapter of ‘Hell Motel’ from the brilliant minds of Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter, who continue to push the boundaries of horror. Shudder members know great scares when they see them, and this season delivers the tension, terror, and terrifying good fun they expect from Shudder,” said Courtney Thomasma, Executive Vice President of Linear and Streaming Products, AMC Global Media.
The Shudder Original Series is developed and produced by Shaftesbury, in association with Canadian broadcaster Hollywood Suite and with the participation of Ontario Creates and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.

Ralph Ineson and Corey Stoll Join ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Spinoff Series Starring Wyatt Russell
The small screen MonsterVerse is expanding with a “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series centered on Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), and Deadline brings us the latest casting news.
Corey Stoll (Imperfect Women, Billions), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Nyasha Hatendi (Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials, Casual) have signed on.
Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) also star.
Originally announced back in December, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the untitled spinoff series.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Wyatt Russell told Collider earlier this year, “you’ve got absolutely no fucking clue what to expect. I think people are going to expect one thing and be like, ‘Holy shit, this is not what I expected.’ It’ll go deeper into Lee’s experience after he came up, and being sort of put on ice, in 1982, and then what happens after that, and why he’s needed and the mission he goes on.”
