Hood River Entertainment has announced that they have acquired “The Feed,” a new TV pilot from Stephen Twardokus and Jeffrey Reddick, the latter of whom created the Final Destination franchise. Based on an idea from Roy Crabaugh, according to EW the series will focus on a demon that was created by the negativity and hatred manifested online. This demon will then use technology to torment those it goes after.
Per the site: The plan is for each season to explore a different aspect of American culture, and bring to light characters’ deepest fears, as the demon grows stronger and stronger. In Season 1 the demon infects the smart house of a prominent African-American family and exploits the insidious undercurrent of racism in their community to terrorize them and tear the family apart. Season 2 focuses on a middle-class, Christian family whose beliefs are warped by the demon to turn their town against them. A group of demonologists and computer hackers will team up with survivors of each season to form a resistance intent on stopping the demon before it grows strong enough to infiltrate technology everywhere.
Hood River Entertainment’s Andrew van den Houten states, “As a huge fan of ‘Black Mirror,’ as well as socially conscious horror, I was excited by the uniquely twisted world of ‘The Feed.’ The concept dissects the human condition in a way that we’ve never seen before. I’m thrilled to help bring this project to life.”
Reddick adds, “I’m excited to work with Andrew van den Houten because he’s a producer who’s not afraid of peering at the dark underbelly of society. Get Out proved you can scare the hell out of people by examining the darkness that festers just below the surface of life. ‘The Feed’ is a supernatural thriller; but the real world horrors, the scary way people can be manipulated through social media, and the evil that we are capable of inflicting on each other are the themes that I’m really excited about exploring with my co-writer, Stephen Twardokus, and Andrew.”
The pilot has yet to be shot but has been written so stay tuned for updates.
