Ryan Murphy's Series Adaptation "The Shards" Snags New Trailer Ahead of Premiere

Ryan Murphy’s Series Adaptation “The Shards” Snags New Trailer Ahead of Premiere

1981 was brutal. Just ask Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis. The third trailer for Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode series adaptation of The Shards, based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 2023 novel, really wants you to know how tough teenagers had it back in 1981. And, to be fair, between the cutthroat social hierarchy and an actual serial killer on the loose, they might actually have a point. Set in sunny, sinister 1981 Los Angeles, this semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age story follows 17-year-old Bret during his senior year at the uber-elite Buckley School. His privileged, paranoia-fueled world starts unraveling with the arrival of a mysterious new transfer student, Robert Mallory. However, Robert’s unsettling charm conveniently coincides with a brutal spree by a killer known as “The Trawler.” An All-Star Cast Igby Rigney (The Fall of the House of Usher) takes center stage as young Bret Easton Ellis. He’s joined by Homer Gere (The Agency, and yes, Richard Gere’s son), who steps into the

Horror and Thrillers Hitting Streaming Services this August

As summer wanes, August serves as a calm entry point before Halloween season kicks off in earnest next month. While it may be a relatively light period for major horror drops, major streaming platforms are quietly packing their libraries with a mix of original premieres, cult favorites, and franchise marathons.
