Supernatural hybrid anthology series ‘Lore‘, based on Aaron Mahnke’s award-winning podcast, will be returning for a 2nd Season Amazon has today announced.
From Executive Producers Ben Silverman (‘The Office’), Howard T. Owens (‘Killing Kennedy’), Gale Anne Hurd (‘The Walking Dead’), Brett-Patrick Jenkins (‘Face Off’), Jon Halperin and Mark Mannucci (‘A Year in Space’), ‘Lore’ explores the real-life frightening and disturbing tales that give rise to modern-day myths and legends. Season 2 will feature new tales from the podcast, as well as original stories not yet available in podcast form, and will star new cast members. The hybrid series will continue to feature narration, archive footage and animation to complement the filmed segments.
One change for the upcoming season is that Sean Crouch (‘The Exorcist’, ‘Numb3rs’) is stepping in to take over as showrunner from Glen Morgan. “Customers loved the first season of Lore for its unique blend of narrative and documentary storytelling, and we’re excited to give them another season of this suspenseful hybrid series,” said Heather Schuster, Head of Unscripted, Amazon Originals. “Sean brings great experience in the supernatural genre, and we’re excited for him to help us tell even more frightening and visually captivating stories.”
“As a fan of documentaries and horror, Lore resonates with me on so many levels,” adds EP Hurd. “Season two is shaping up to be scarier and even more compelling and unnerving than our first one!”
‘Lore‘ is available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories, and Season 1 can be watched on Amazon Prime UK right now.
