Shudder has renewed its found footage horror series The Creep Tapes for a second season. Writers and executive producers Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice, will also return to deliver six new episodes.
The first season of the series became the most watched Shudder show of all time on AMC+ and the strongest November release in Shudder history. It drove record subscriber growth and social media engagement. So, of course, they are going to renew it!
The Creep Tapes Season 2 will “continue to unravel the mind of the franchise’s secluded serial killer (Duplass) who lures videographers into his world with the promise of a paid job documenting his life.
“Unfortunately, as the tape rolls, the killer’s questionable intentions surface with his increasingly odd behavior and the victims will learn they may have made a deadly mistake.”
Duplass shared in a statement: “We made the first season of The Creep Tapes completely independently, so we were able to truly and unabashedly get our freak on.
“The fact that so many of you watched it that Shudder not only asked us for more but asked us to go even further this time around? That’s just… really, really unsettling. And terrifically exciting.”
Brice added: “We are beyond delighted at the opportunity to bring audiences fresh kills from the closet in a second season of The Creep Tapes!
“For the series to have found such a rabid audience at Shudder is an absolute dream. It seems ridiculous to apply the term ‘labor of love’ to such an insane franchise, but it’s the truth. We can’t wait to dive back in.”
Courtney Thomasma, who serves as EVP of streaming at AMC Networks, said: “We can’t wait to see where Mark and Patrick will take this story next as we continue to grow this fan-favorite franchise across both Shudder and AMC+.
“We’re already preparing ourselves for more psychological discomfort as a new season’s worth of devious and wonderfully weird Peachfuzzantics unfold.”
