When Quibi launched earlier this year, the platform was hoping that a mixture of new technology and A-list talent would drive interesting in its mobile-first streaming service. Unfortunately, that didn’t totally pan out, and the company is struggling to remain in business, reportedly. However, that doesn’t mean the earlier Quibi shows didn’t have some standouts or at least series that struck a chord with some viewers, such as “50 States of Fright.”
And now, with more episodes coming to “50 States of Fright,” Quibi has released a new trailer highlighting what’s forthcoming in the new horror shorts. Just in time for Halloween, Quibi is going to attempt to scare you with four new horror “quick bites” that continue the trend of each story taking place in a brand-new state. This time, the series focuses on Iowa, Washington, Colorado, and Missouri.
The series is produced by Sam Raimi, a guy who knows a thing or two about horror, and features some incredible cast members including Rory Culkin, Lulu Wilson, Christina Ricci, Jacob Batalon, Victoria Justice, Taissa Farmiga, and Ron Livingston. The new episodes are helmed by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods, Lee Cronin, Daniel Goldhaber, and Cate Devaney.
Here’s all the new info for the four new episodes coming to Quibi starting on September 28:
