The 8-part season will debut on Tuesday, October 25. Two new episodes will be released daily through Friday, October 28.
Executive producer and co-showrunner Guillermo del Toro has curated a collection of unprecedented and genre-defining stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror. From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, these eight equally sophisticated and sinister tales are brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by del Toro.
Del Toro executive produces with co-showrunner J. Miles Dale and Gary Ungar. Regina Corrado serves as a co-executive producer.
