Chiller, the NBCUniversal network meant for horror aficionados, is partnering with a Canadian broadcaster for its first original series. Slasher follows a young woman who returns to the small town where she was born, and finds herself the centerpiece in a series of horrifying murders.
Slasher will begin production on an eight-episode season this summer in Sudbury, Ontario. The series will also air on Canadian broadcaster Super Channel.
"Given Chiller's success in the original film space with Animal and The Boy, we're thrilled to premiere our first-ever original series, Slasher, later this year," said Dave Howe, president of Syfy and Chiller.
Slasher is part of a slate of new offerings from the network, which is now available in about 40 million U.S.
