EPIX Renews Stephen King's CHAPELWAITE For Season 2
EPIX has announced that they’ve renewed its Stephen King horror series Chapelwaite for a second season! The series is inspired by King’s gothic horror short story, "Jerusalem's Lot," and it was actually a great first season, so I’m excited to see that the series is going to continue!
The story is set in the 1850s, and it follows Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody) “who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history, and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.”
Chapelwaite Season 2 continues as “a terrifying re-imagining of classic gothic horror that chronicles one family's battle with an ancient and persistent evil. We will learn that the Boone curse didn't die with Jakub, and despite Charles's selfless act at the end of season one, De Vermis Mysteriis remains as powerful as ever, and as alluring to a new generation of vampires.”
The series is executive produced by Donald De Line (Ready Player One, Wayward Pines), Jason Filardi, and Peter Filardi. Returning cast and crew for the upcoming season haven't been revealed yet, but series co-star Emily Hampshire previously talked about the possibility of the series, continuing saying:
"There's been talk of people wanting one. It was always intended to be a limited series. But I think it, in a good way, did really well for the network, for EPIX, and people seem to really love it. So there actually has been talks about that now, and I know this because there's a painting in the show that I wanted, and I said, 'When the show's over can I have it?' And then I was following up on that and they were like, 'Let's just be sure we're not going for another season. We'll get back to you.' And I'm into it. I love those people. I love, the Filardi Brothers who wrote it were so fun. And vampires."
If you watched the first season of Chapelwaite, are you excited to learn that a new season is moving forward?
