A year after it first premiered, Shudder is bringing Hell Motel back for more. The streamer just announced that a second season of the anthology series, this time titled Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain, is in the works, with horror favorite Devon Sawa set to star in the latest installment of the hellish original series.
Sawa is set to star in the new season as Patrick, a “man with a thirst for alternative facts and theories who comes to the resort to look into historic mysteries tied to Red Mountain.” (Can you say conspiracy theorist?) No other casting has been announced for the new season, but Shudder did release a synopsis for the upcoming episodes:
Set at a mountain resort known for eliminating people’s inhibitions and amplifying their desires, Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain continues to reveal the chilling consequences of surrendering to our darkest impulses amidst the unique Cold River landscape. As guests and staff go missing without explanation and violent incidents increase, it becomes clear that Red Mountain has a long horrific history for a reason and that no one is safe.
“We’re thrilled to open a chilling new chapter of Hell Motel from the brilliant minds of Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter, who continue to push the boundaries of horror,” said AMC’s Courtney Thomasma. “Shudder members know great scares when they see them and this season delivers the tension, terror, and terrifying good fun they expect from Shudder.”
Hell Motel is created and executive produced by Aaron Martin and Ian Carpenter, who also pioneered Shudder’s popular Slasher series. The series is produced by Shaftesbury in association with Hollywood Suite, with executive producers Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, and director Adam MacDonald. It stands among a lineup of numerous series created by Shudder, ranging from competition shows like The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula to The Creep Tapes, Creepshow, and more.
No release date has been announced for Hell Motel: Murder at Red Mountain. Stay tuned to FANGORIA for more updates.
