TORONTO, Sept. 5,
2023 /CNW/ - This fall, get ready to scream and laugh
along with Showcase and its lineup of scarily good thrillers
and hilarious comedies – also streaming live and on-demand on
STACKTV. Showcase's fall slate includes the Season 3 return of
everyone's favourite killer doll Chucky, a chilling
horror-thriller film Sick, stylish new crime series,
Culprits, and a second season of Killing
It, starring Craig
Robinson.
Chucky slashes his way onto Showcase for a
third season of the fan-favourite hit series on Wednesday, October 4 at 9
p.m. ET. A continuation of the iconic film franchise
chronicling the murderous escapades of the notorious killer doll,
the series is created by Don Mancini
who serves as executive producer alongside Nick Antosca, Alex
Hedlund, David Kirschner and
Jeff Renfroe. The series is produced
by Universal Content Productions, a division of Universal Studio
Group.
Then, on Friday, October 20 at
9 p.m. ET, catch the terrifying
horror-thriller film, Sick. From hit-making horror
studio Blumhouse and Miramax and Scream franchise creator
Kevin Williamson, Sick is set
during the height of the pandemic. As the world shuts down due to
the worsening health crisis, Parker (Gideon
Adlon) and her best friend Miri (Bethlehem Million) decide
to spend their time isolating at the family lake house miles away
from the nearest neighbour. What begins as an ideal quarantine
vacation takes a horrifying turn when an unexpected intruder
ignites a frenzied fight for survival.
A thrilling new take on the classic crime genre,
Culprits, will also land on Showcase this fall.
Culprits kicks off where most crime stories end: after a
high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their
separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind. Past
and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them
one by one. Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem,
and will they be able to find one another in time to protect
themselves and the people they love? The eight-episode series stars
Nathan Stewart-Jarrett
(Generation, Candyman), Gemma
Arterton (The King's Man, Summerland), Kirby (Cruella, The
Good Place), Niamh Algar
(Deceit, Raised by Wolves), Kamel El Basha (The Insult), Tara Abboud, Kevin
Vidal (Strays, Working Moms), Ned Dennehy (The Peripheral, Good
Omens), and Eddie Izzard
(Victoria and Abdul, Six
Minutes to Midnight).
This fall will also see the return of comedic legend
Craig Robinson in Season 2 of
Killing It. Killing It is a comedy about
class, capitalism, and one man's quest to achieve the American
Dream. But first he has to overcome vicious criminals, nature run
wild, and worst of all, corporate America. Starring Robinson as
Craig, Claudia O'Doherty as
Jillian and Rell Battle as Isaiah.
Guest stars include Tim Heidecker as
Rodney, Stephanie Nogueras as
Camille, Jet Miller as Vanessa, Scott
MacArthur as Brock, Wyatt
Walter as Corby, Dot-Marie
Jones as Jackie Boone,
Katie Kershaw as Natalie-Ray Boone, Joe
Massingill as Ray-Nathan
Boone, Melanie Field as
Shayla, Tim Simons as Agent Burton,
Fatimah Taliah as Maya, Beck Bennett as Johnny and Kyle Mooney as Bugs. Killing
It is created by Dan Goor and
Luke Del Tredici who serve as
co-showrunners/writers/directors/executive producers and is
executive produced by Mark Schulman
and Craig Robinson. The series is
produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio
Group.
Broadcast details for Culprits and Killing
It will be announced at a later date.
