Status

The streaming services do not usually share their viewership numbers, but they also tend to give their shows at least a couple of seasons to prove themselves. This looks like a notable entry to Shudder’s originals and could stick around for a second season and possibly more. You can keep up with further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
