Channel Zero: Butcher's Block

The second season of Channel Zero, the Syfy anthology series from Nick Antosca and Max Landis, reached its finale last night, and with the end of one chapter comes news of the next – Channel Zero will return to Syfy airwaves in early 2018 for a season titled Channel Zero: Butcher's Block.

Antosca is writing Butcher's Block, which will be directed by Arkasha Stevenson. The season is inspired by Kerry Hammond's Creepypasta tale Search and Rescue Woods and will tell the story of 

a young woman named Alice, who moves to a new city and learns about a series of disappearances that may be connected to a baffling rumor about mysterious staircases in the city’s worst neighborhoods. With help from her sister, she discovers that something is preying on the city’s residents.

IT FOLLOWS's Olivia Luccardi stars as Alice, and she's joined in the cast by Holland Roden as her older sister Zoe, who struggles with mental illness; Rutger Hauer as reclusive meatpacking magnate Joseph Peach; Brandon Scott as young-but-jaded police officer Luke Vanczyk; and Krisha Fairchild as retired journalist Louise Lispector, who is writing a book about the disappearances.

A teaser has been released for Butcher's Block and can be seen below. There's not much to it, it's only 20 seconds long, but those 20 seconds are packed with the sort of exceptionally strange visuals I've come to expect from Channel Zero promos. I still need to watch the show itself.
