Right ahead of the season 2 premiere of Channel Zero, Syfy decided to renew the show for a 3rd and 4th season. In addition, Nick Antosca has signed an overall deal with Channel Zero producer Universal Cable Productions. Under that pact, Antosca will develop and produce scripted programming with UCP for the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment portfolio and for external networks and streaming services. Antosca also will return as executive producer, showrunner and writer for the two newly ordered installments of Channel Zero alongside executive producer Max Landis (Chronicle).
What’s interesting about Channel Zero is that each is based on user-generated content online or commonly called “creepypasta.” “Channel Zero certainly hit a nerve with Candle Cove,” said Chris McCumber, President, USA and Syfy. “We look forward to creeping everyone out again this fall with No-End House— and can’t wait to see what nightmares Nick has in store for the future.”
“Nick delivered a truly haunting and unpredictable first installment of Channel Zero and was embraced by fans and critics alike,” said Jeff Wachtel, President, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “He is a fresh, passionate talent with a unique vision – precisely what we strive to cultivate here at UCP.”
People are pretty psyched for season 2. The plot of the upcoming season is “Six rooms, each more terrifying than the next. Who will enter…and who will exit?”
