Creepshow is based on the classic written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero. It’s Shudder’s first hour-long scripted series, and it was a hit with 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.
Shudder GM Craig Engler said: “Creepshow has met every expectation we had for Shudder’s first original scripted series and then some, with record numbers across the board. 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.”

Nicotero added: “For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love. 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.”
Cartel CEO Stan Spry said: “Working with Greg Nicotero and Shudder on Creepshow has been a dream come true. We’re thrilled to carry on the Creepshow legacy with season two.”
