The untitled Black horror anthology will debut on Shudder and AMC+ later this year and will be made with the help of Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, who previously collaborated with the streaming service on the 2019 documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror. Shudder also announced that its sister streaming service ALLBLK has picked up the anthology series Covenant, which will comprise contemporary retellings of iconic biblical tales. “When we saw the first cut of our Horror Noire documentary, we realized there was a huge untapped reservoir of great Black horror stories that needed to be told, and an extremely talented group of writers and directors ready to tell them,” said Shudder general manager Craig Engler. “While the documentary was a look back at the history of Black horror, this anthology is a showcase for the future and will introduce audiences to fantastic new stories and characters.”
