Check out the tense teaser for Chiller’s original series Slasher

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

Chiller's first original series, Slasher, might not have a terribly enticing title, but it does represent a step forward in the trend of bringing the slasher genre to television. So far, we've gotten teenybopper slaughter in MTV's Scream and Fox's Scream Queens, but in its new teaser, Slasher looks like it's going in a much more grown up, sophisticated direction. Hinting at some visceral kills and small town intrigue, Slasher might actually have the chops to be a genuinely compelling TV show on top of its genre trappings. Check out the video below!

Katie McGrath (recently seen getting terrorized by pterosaurs in Jurassic World) will star as Sarah Bennett, a young woman who returns to the small town where she was born, only to find herself the centerpiece in a series of horrifying copycat murders based on the widely known, grisly killings of her parents. As the murders escalate, long-buried secrets are revealed, making everyone around her a suspect…or a victim.

Sarah finds herself questioning everything and everyone around her, including her husband Dylan (Brandon Jay McLaren, Graceland), her grandmother Brenda Merritt (Wendy Crewson, Revenge), family friend Cam Henry (Steve Byers, The Man in the High Castle) and the town’s police chief, Iain Vaughn (Dean McDermott, CSI).

Slasher will debut on Chiller on Friday, March 4th at 9/8c.
