The original anthology series CHANNEL ZERO is set to debut on Syfy with the first six-part installment Candle Cove. The second, yet-to-be-announced six episode season of CHANNEL ZERO will premiere on Syfy in 2017. Based on an unnerving tale written by Kris Straub that gained notoriety online as a “creepypasta” (user-generated horror stories that are published and passed around the internet), Candle Cove centers on one man’s obsessive recollections of a mysterious children’s television program from the 1980s – and his ever-growing suspicions about the role it might have played in a series of nightmarish and deadly events from his childhood. From Universal Cable Productions, Channel Zero: Candle Cove is from showrunner and executive producer Nick Antosca (“Hannibal,” “Teen Wolf”), who wrote the CHANNEL ZERO pilot, and Max Landis (“Chronicle,” “American Ultra”).
