Shudder's CURSED FILM docu-series by filmmaker Jay Cheel was extremely popular (behind only CREEPSHOW as the streaming platform's most watched original programming), so it's going to be getting a second season. The first season explored THE OMEN, POLTERGEIST, THE EXORCIST, THE CROW, and TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, while the second season's films are still undisclosed.
Here's the official synopsis:
Cursed Films is a five-part documentary series which explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood’s notoriously “cursed” horror film productions. From plane accidents and bombings during the making of The Omen, to the rumored use of real human skeletons on the set of Poltergeist, these stories are legendary amongst film fans and filmmakers alike. But where does the truth lie? Cursed Films reveals the events that haunted these productions through interviews with experts, witnesses and the cast, directors and producers who lived through the real-life events. Were these films really cursed, as many believe, or just the victims of bad luck and bizarre circumstances?
And here's what Cheel had to say about the upcoming season:
Filming season one of Cursed Films was an amazing experience, so I’m thrilled to have the chance to interview a new group of talented filmmakers and film critics while exploring the stories behind five more legendarily ill-fated film productions. This time around we’ll be heading outside of North America for a few episodes, which will not only widen the scope of the series but offer an exciting collection of stories connected to a diverse group of movies.
Meanwhile, the second season is currently in production, with a release date sometime next year.
