NBC Teams with Jason Blum and Radio Silence for New Horror Anthology Series
Horror anthologies like “The Twilight Zone” used to rule the airwaves, and while they’ve fallen a bit out of favor with TV viewers lately, NBC is hoping to reverse that trend… and they’ve joined with some powerhouses to make sure it happens!
Per Deadline, horror master Jason Blum has teamed with producer-director Tony Krantz (NBC’s “Dracula”) and Endemol Studios (“Hell on Wheels”) for a horror/sci-fi/thriller anthology drama. It has been set up at NBC with a script-to-series commitment; upon script approval, the project would receive a 10-episode straight-to-series order.
The stories will be inspired by true events, and in the vein of “The Twilight Zone,” each episode will be stand-alone. Blum and Krantz will executive produce; horror-writing quartet Radio Silence (Chad Villella, Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Justin Martinez) are attached to write.
No other details are available so far, but we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for more as it comes.
