October 30, 2019 – Following a record-setting first season, Shudder — AMC Networks’ premium
streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural — today announced the season two
renewal of its horror anthology series, Creepshow . Executive produced by showrunner Greg
Nicotero ( The Walking Dead ), Creepshow is based on the iconic 1982 movie written by Stephen
King and directed by George A. Romero.
Creepshow , Shudder’s first hour-long scripted series, has been a hit with its members and critics
alike. The series is rated 92% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and was called one of the “10 best
shows on TV right now“ by Paste Magazine . More than 50% of Shudder members watched at
least one episode of the series, and the show has also helped drive record growth for the
streaming service.
“ Creepshow has met every expectation we had for Shudder’s first original scripted series and
then some, with record numbers across the board,” said Shudder GM Craig Engler. “Greg
Nicotero and his team delivered an amazing show that’s unlike anything else on TV and we’re
thrilled and delighted to bring it back for another season.”
“For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love,” said Nicotero. “To be able to pay tribute to
George A. Romero’s visionary project and have the show so embraced by fans everywhere is
humbling to this horror kid from Pittsburgh. I couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to
continuing the series with more ghoulish delight.”
“Working with Greg Nicotero and Shudder on Creepshow has been a dream come true,” said
Stan Spry, executive producer for the series and CEO of the Cartel. “We’re thrilled to carry on
the Creepshow legacy with season two.”
The season one finale airs Thursday, October 31 , both on demand and on the Shudder TV
live-stream at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT. Shudder is available on all your favorite devices and
