The new season of Shudder‘s “Creepshow” is set to premiere later this month. Ahead of its premiere, the trailer has just arrived, giving us a taste of the horrors that await us.
Based on the classic 1982 horror-comedy, the series returns for its third season which features murder, monsters, and mayhem.
Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy) makes an appearance this season as a border patrol officer who is up to his neck in dead bodies. In another episode, James Remar (Dexter, Black Lightning) plays the role of a museum collector obsessed with obtaining rare horror movie props at any cost. Kara Kimmer, Ali Larter, Justin Long, and Ryan Kwanten appear this season.
Showrunner Greg Nicotero had this to say about the new season during a talk with ComicBook.com, “For Season 3, the most fun thing about Creepshow is every episode is very different,” He continued. “I wrote a bunch of them, and I directed a lot of them. and I had Rusty [Cundieff] direct. John Harrison directed. Joe Lynch directed. I had all the same people that did Season 2 that came back. There’s one episode called ‘Queen Bee’ that’s in the pilot, that’s in the first episode. It was written by Erik Sandoval and Michael Rousselet. And it’s sort of a Beyonce-type story. ‘What if all the people that admired this singer, they were being controlled by her because she was an alien?’ It’s that fun scenario … In the skeletons episode that we were talking about James Remar stars in that, and it’s a movie-lovers bonanza.”
Season 3 of “Creepshow” premieres on Shudder on September 23, 2021. A new episode will be released each Thursday through Halloween.
