Anthology Series CHANNEL ZERO Canceled on Syfy
Entertainment Weekly reports that Syfy has canceled the creepypasta-inspired horror anthology TV show Channel Zero.
"After 4 seasons, CHANNEL ZERO is no more at SYFY," wrote show creator Nick Antosca. "I loved making this show and I would have loved to do more... but I can't complain too much about doing 4 stories I loved with people who I loved working with: People like our writers, our actors, our extraordinary crew, the artists who contributed, our editors and post team, our composer Jeff Russo, our team at Syfy and UCP. And especially the four awesome directors, Craig Macneill, Steven Piet, Arkasha Stevenson, and Evan Katz. And before all that, the authors of the original creepypasta stories. Kris Straub, Brian Russell, Kerry Hammond, and Charlotte Bywater.
"I'm deeply grateful for this experience. Especially to everybody who watched and talked about and wrote about the show. There are stories we didn't get to tell and creatures you didn't get to see, but still might. ?? Meanwhile, the first 3 seasons are currently on @shudder, and the 4th season will be soon. Enjoy. ???"
Antosca hoped last year that the show would be picked up for more seasons.
"I would love to do more," he said. "I guess we'll find out in a couple of months if Syfy orders more. I'm also thrilled that we've gotten to do four seasons. Our budget is very low, but with the low-budget comes freedom. What Syfy has done is basically let us make four, long indie horror movies."
