‘Creepshow’ Series Officially Wraps After Four Seasons on Shudder; Commemorative Box Set For Fall (EXCLUSIVE)
“Creepshow,” the macabre anthology series on Shudder, is officially in the grave.
A source close to the network confirms that the series will not continue after four seasons. Launched in 2019 by Greg Nicotero, the show lasted for 23 episodes and two specials, wrapping in 2023 after a fourth season.
While no official end to the series was announced, the source says the series was only planned for four seasons.
To soften the blow for fans, a Blu-Ray box set of the whole series — aptly titled “Creepshow Complete Series” — is set to be released on Nov. 11.
“Creepshow” was based on the 1982 Stephen King and George A. Romero anthology film, which spawned 1987’s “Creepshow 2,” as well as 2006’s “Creepshow 3.” The third film had no involvement from the duo.
The series included original stories and adapted tales from authors like King, Joe Hill, Nicotero, Rob Schrab, Dana Gould, Heather Anne Campbell and many more. Directors included Joe Lynch, Nicotero, John Harrison, David Bruckner and Roxanne Benjamin among others.
Nicotero, the special effects guru who was also an executive producer and director on “The Walking Dead,” has often cited the original “Creepshow” as a favorite scary movie.
“‘Creepshow’ is a project very close to my heart! It is one of those titles that embraces the true spirit of horror…thrills and chills celebrated in one of its truest art forms, the comic book come to life! I’m honored to continue the tradition in the ‘spirit’ in which it was created,” Nicotero said in a statement when the show was first announced.
Nicotero’s newest project with Shudder, a reality competition show called “Guts & Glory,” is set to debut on Sept. 9.
