From Crypt TV, Peacock‘s gateway horror series “The Girl in the Woods” is headed to the streaming service just in time for Halloween, and the official trailer has arrived today.
The series launches Thursday, October 21 on Peacock. All eight episodes will drop at once.
This one looks like a lot of fun, tapping into that same “teens vs. monsters” vibe of Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy. And it drops on Peacock just one week after Halloween Kills!
Check out the trailer below…
“Set in the Pacific Northwest, The Girl in the Woods follows Carrie’s escape from her mysterious, cult-like colony that guards the world from monsters hidden behind a secret door within the woods.
