Slasher is a season-long horror anthology series that focuses on a different masked killer each year. It first premiered on Chiller in 2016, but that cable network went defunct the following year, seemingly bringing the show to an end. But like any good slasher, it has since bounced back several times. It switched to Netflix, where it produced two seasons, the second of which debuted in Spring of 2019. There was no word on the show after that and it appeared that the show might be done once again. But then, with little notice, a fourth season arrived on the horror-focused streaming service Shudder in August 2021, billed as an “event series”. Subtitled Flesh & Blood, it follows a wealthy but dysfunctional family gathering for a reunion on a secluded island. Their old wounds and competitive rivalries flare up when the family realizes a masked killer is on the island, intent on cruelly picking them off one by one. That ran for eight episodes like the other three seasons, and there has been no word yet on whether a fifth season will follow. But based on the fact that this one keeps bouncing back, I would not count it out just yet.
The Shudder streaming service is owned by AMC and focuses on horror and supernatural with a large number of acquired movies and TV shows in its catalog. It has also produced some original movies and has a few original series as well such as Creepshow and Missions. You can get a stand-alone subscription to the service, or it is included if you subscribe to AMC+. The latter is AMC’s premieres streaming package which includes that cable network’s full catalog along with Shudder, Sundance Now, BBC America, and more. Currently only the fourth season of Slasher is on Shudder, with the other three currently still streaming on Netflix. Should a fifth season and possibly more happen, I’m guessing the full series will shift over to Shudder at some point. Horror fans should definitely seek this one out because the show has received some good buzz, even though it has never had much in the way of promotion.
