“These three shows are a fantastic representation of what Roku has to offer and we could not be prouder of the filmmakers, talent and crew that have made them. It’s the perfect time of year to bring a black list script that deserved to get made, a horror anthology series from one of the most prolific directors of all time, and tour de force performances in a ‘Rosemary’s Baby’-style throwback horror film to our viewers. If you’re looking for something to thrill you and just chill you to your core, look no further.” said Roku’s Head of Scripted Programming, Colin Davis.
