Teen Horror-Comedy Begins Principal
Photography in New Mexico February 5
Verizon has ordered two seasons (seasons two and three) of the
Stage 13 teen horror-comedy “Snatchers.” The fan-favorite series,
which premiered in June of 2017, will go into production for season
two in New Mexico and starts principal photography on February 5.
Stage 13 is the fearless original digital content brand and a
division of Warner Bros. Digital Networks.
“Snatchers” is the critically acclaimed premium,
digital episodic series about Sara, a status-obsessed high school
student, who, in order to preserve her social standing, loses her
virginity and surprisingly wakes up extremely pregnant.
Season two of “Snatchers” picks up where season
one left off. Our teenage heroes, Sara (Mary Nepi) and Hayley
(Gabrielle Elyse), are in over their heads against the evolving
alien threat! With Sara’s mom, Kate (JJ Nolan), in the clutches of
the creatures, the girls have to enlist help from Skyler (Austin
Fryberger), the alien baby-daddy himself. But can he be
trusted? And who are the shadowy figures tracking him down? Time is
running out and our heroes need to uncover the secret origins of
the freaky-deaky menace before it destroys, not only the world, but
Sara’s social life as well.
Created, written and Executive Produced by The
Olde Money Boyz (Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman & Scott
Yacyshyn), the series features returning cast members Nepi (Sara),
Elyse (Hayley), Fryberger (Skyler), Nolan (Kate), Nick Gomez
(Oscar) and Ashley Argota (Kiana). “Snatchers” is
directed by Kleiman (“Snatchers” Season One, “Dimension 404”) and
Cedars (“Snatchers” Season One, “Dimension 404”), Executive
Produced by EMMY award-winning Producer Paul Young (MAKE GOOD
Content founder, former founder at Principato-Young Entertainment,
“Key and Peele”), produced by Scott Hinckley, Eric Fisher, Elli
Legerski and Pin-Chun Liu, with production services by MAKE GOOD
Content.
"'Snatchers' is the embodiment of our
philosophy at MAKE GOOD Content," said Young. "Cedars, Kleiman and
Yacyshyn are incredible artists who self-financed a spectacular
short film, which led to a series order and a Sundance premiere.
When you make good content, good things happen.”
“We’re excited to have 'Snatchers' fans continue
the journey with us and Verizon,” said Diana Mogollón, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Stage 13. “It’s fantastic to see
them connect to this fast-paced story that shows relatable
characters dealing with the unexpected alien bundle of mayhem. We
can’t wait for season two to premiere and continue our partnership
with Verizon.” “We are thrilled to announce that 'Snatchers' will
be returning for two more seasons,” said Ivana Kirkbride, Chief
Content Officer for Verizon. “The popularity of the horror genre
continues to rise and 'Snatchers' offers characters and plot lines
that viewers will find both intelligent and frightening.”
Called “Scary as hell!...” by NPR, “…Feels
like…‘Alien’ if Monty Python had made it…” by Desert News, “Would
make Sam Raimi proud…” by Bloody Disgusting and “Super Cray,” by
Scream Magazine, the scripted series made its debut at the 2017
Sundance Film Festival in the “Midnight Episodic Showcase.”
“Snatchers” can be streamed on Verizon’s media
brand, go90.
