Netflix has picked up “Hemlock Grove,” the gothic horror series from executive producer Eli Roth, for a third and final season, the company announced.
The 10-episode final season of the original series, based on Brian McGreevy’s novel of the same name, will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2015. Showrunner Charles “Chic” Eglee will return for the final run.
“We are so grateful to the fans of ‘Hemlock Grove’ who have championed the series so intensely over two seasons,” Roth said in a statement. “We are looking forward to taking the last and final season into some dark and unexpected places, and to giving viewers the killer finale you’d come to expect from ‘Hemlock Grove.’”
Second season of “Hemlock Grove” launched on Netflix in July 2014. The drama series is the first foray into TV by horror director Eli Roth (“Hostel,” “Cabin Fever”). The show was developed by Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman and is executive produced by Roth, Eglee, McGreevy and Shipman, Eric Newman and Michael Connolly. The one-hour drama is produced by Gaumont International Television for Netflix.
“Hemlock Grove” centers on strange events and murders in a small Pennsylvania town. Season two starred Famke Janssen (“X-Men”), Bill Skarsgård (“Simon & The Oaks”), Landon Liboiron (“Terra Nova”) and Dougray Scott (“Mission Impossible II”).
“We, along with the fans, are looking forward to visiting ‘Hemlock Grove’ one last time, and we know that Chic, Eli and the team will provide a riveting and mind-bending conclusion to complete the series,” Netflix VP of original programming Cindy Holland said.
