DreamWorks Animation has delivered a Halloween treat: gateway horror series “Fright Krewe” has been renewed for a second season.
Look for the supernatural war brewing in New Orleans to continue when Season 2 comes to Hulu and Peacock in 2024.
“Fright Krewe” is Created and Executive Produced by Eli Roth & James Frey. The series is also Executive Produced by Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco.
In the 10-episode series, ” An ancient prophecy and a Voodoo Queen put misfit teens in charge of saving New Orleans from the biggest demonic threat it’s faced in almost two centuries. But, honestly? Saving the world might be easier than becoming friends.”
The first season of 10 episodes recently debuted on Hulu and Peacock on October 2. In my review, I wrote that the inaugural season “offers enough supernatural charm, heart, and whimsy to endear Soleil and her friends to viewers, hoping to see their ascension to full hero in the future.”
“Set in modern day New Orleans, Fright Krewe follows an unlikely group of misfit teens who through an ancient prophecy and the spirit of Marie Laveau – who’s based on the real-life Louisiana legend – are gifted with superhuman abilities bestowed by five loas, or Voodoo spirit guides in order to defeat a powerful fear-eating demon. Now they must work together and overcome their own inner struggles to save their city and the world.”
Main Cast: Sydney Mikayla as “Soleil,” Tim Johnson Jr. as “Maybe,” Grace Lu as “Missy,” Chester Rushing as “Stanley,” Terrence Little Gardenhigh as “Pat,” Jacques Colimon as “Belial.”
Recurring Cast: Vanessa Hudgens as “Madison,” Josh Richards as “Nelson,” X Mayo as “Alma,” Rob Paulsen as “Lou Garou,” David Kaye as “Mayor Furst,” JoNell Kennedy as “Marie Laveau” and “Judy Le Claire,” Melanie Laurent as “Fiona Bunrady,” Chris Jai Alex as “Otis Bunrady,” Reggie Watkins as “Paulie,” Cherise Boothe as “Ayida Weddo” and “Ayizan,” Keston John as “Papa Legba” and “Ogoun,” Grey Delisle as “Judith Le Claire,” Krizia Bajos as “Luciana Rodriguez.”
This isn’t Roth’s first foray into gateway horror, as the filmmaker previously helmed 2018’s The House with a Clock in Its Walls based on the 1973 novel by John Bellairs. The series is, however, being billed as “DreamWorks’ first-ever animated horror series for older kids.”
