It looks like Syfy’s ‘Channel Zero’ won’t be seeing a fifth season. The series looked to be in good shape after being renewed for a third and fourth season following the show’s second. Creator Nick Antosca has revealed on Instagram that the show has not been picked up for season five and has been canceled.
In addition to being the show’s creator, Antosca served as executive producer, showrunner, and writer on the Syfy series. Syfy has also confirmed the show’s cancelation. Each installment of the anthology was based on a Creepypasta. It was produced by Universal Cable Prods. Check out Antosca’s full statement on ‘Channel Zero’s’ cancelation here:
“CHANNEL ZERO: CANCELLATION NEWS: After 4 seasons, Channel Zero is no more at SYFY. I loved making this show and I would have loved to do more… but I can’t complain too much about doing 4 stories I loved with people who I loved working with: People like our writers, our actors, our extraordinary crew, the artists who contributed, our editors and post team, our composer Jeff Russo, our team at Syfy and UCP.
“And especially the four awesome directors, Craig Macneill, Steven Piet, Arkasha Stevenson, and Evan Katz. And before all that, the authors of the original creepypasta stories. Kris Straub, Brian Russell, Kerry Hammond, and Charlotte Bywater. I’m deeply grateful for this experience.
“Especially to everybody who watched and talked about and wrote about the show. There are stories we didn’t get to tell and creatures you didn’t get to see, but still might. Meanwhile, the first 3 seasons are currently on @shudder, and the 4th season will be soon. Enjoy.”
