Description: Slasher is a season-long anthology series that focuses on a different serial killer each season.
Season 5 Description: Slasher: Ripper is heading back in time to the late 19th century — there’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, The Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful. The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may wind up being yet another victim.

Status: Like any good slasher, you just can’t keep this show down. It started out on horror-focused network Chiller as the channel’s first original series. But after that cable net shuttered its doors, the show moved over to Netflix for two seasons. There was no word on its fate after the third season was released on the streaming service in May 2019, and it appeared that the show would not continue beyond that. But AMC’s horror-skewing streaming service Shudder picked it up for a fourth season which was released in August 2021 and now it has ordered a year. This one could stick around for a few more years beyond that.
