THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED HORROR SERIES "CHANNEL ZERO" IS COMING TO SHUDDER AS ITS EXCLUSIVE STREAMING HOME
Series Hails From Universal Cable Productions
(July 12, 2018, New York, NY) - The binge-worthy and unsettling horror series CHANNEL ZERO is soon available exclusively to stream on Shudder, the leading premium streaming service for thriller, suspense and horror. The first three installments of CHANNEL ZERO, which airs on SYFY, have earned the anthology series a collective 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes for its high-brow grasp on popular creepypastas and horror microfictions. Created by Nick Antosca and produced by Universal Cable Productions (UCP), each six-episode installment features a new cast, new director and a new story arc. Shudder members can stream the first installment of CHANNEL ZERO starting Thursday, August 9, followed by the second installment in September, the third installment in October, and the fourth installment in 2019.
"Channel Zero is one of the best horror shows of the last decade and we're thrilled to bring it exclusively to Shudder members," said Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder. "Nick Antosca's innovative storytelling and unparalleled knack for creating a moody, terrifying series make this can't-miss TV."
Tooth Child - the terrifying character from Candle Cove - will be in attendance at San Diego Comic Con on July 18-22 at Shudder's booth (#4020) to interact with fans and pose for photos.

There is a fine line between escaping insanity and embracing true madness.
