4 New Horror TV Shows Coming to Haunt You in 2024

The horror genre is thriving, and 2024 is set to deliver even more nightmares straight to your screen. Whether you’re craving mind-bending supernatural stories or blood-soaked slasher mayhem, this year’s fresh crop of horror TV shows has got you covered. Let’s dive into five terrifying new shows that are sure to make you sleep with one eye open.

Welcome to Derry(2024)

Let’s kick things off with a prequel that’s bound to mess with your fear of clowns. “Welcome to Derry,” coming to Max in 2024, is a spinoff from Stephen King’s It universe. Set in the 1960s, this series digs deep into the terrifying events that led up to Pennywise’s reign of terror in Derry, Maine. Developed by Andy Muschietti, who directed the recent It films, this show promises more of that nightmare-inducing creepiness we’ve come to expect from King’s world. While the plot is under wraps, we do know that it will explore the sinister history of Derry itself, with plenty of Easter eggs for die-hard King fans. Keep your red balloons close—this one’s gonna float right to the top of your watchlist.

The Strangers(2024)

From Sam Levinson, the creator of Euphoria (yes, that Sam Levinson), comes The Stranger, an upcoming HBO horror series with a unique take on the haunted house trope.

The show follows a young woman who inherits a sprawling, isolated mansion in the woods. As you can guess, this house comes with more than just a few creaky floors—something malevolent lurks within its walls, and it’s not about to let its new resident leave. This psychological horror series promises to bring Levinson’s signature visual style and tension-building storytelling to the forefront, making it one of the most anticipated horror releases of the year.

Creature Commandos (2024)

Horror meets action in Creature Commandos, a new animated series hitting Max in 2024. It’s based on the DC Comics team of the same name and comes from the mind of James Gunn. Picture a ragtag group of classic movie monsters—think Frankenstein’s monster, a werewolf, and a vampire—fighting in a world of spies and secret military ops. This isn’t your typical superhero fare. Gunn promises plenty of dark humor, violent action, and a hefty dose of body horror. Plus, with a voice cast that includes Viola Davis and Sean Gunn, you know this one’s going to be a bloody fun time.

Hellbound Season 2 (2024)

After its wild first season in 2021, Hellbound is returning for a second season in 2024 on Netflix, and things are about to get even more chaotic. If you missed the first season, Hellbound is a South Korean horror series where mysterious, otherworldly beings start condemning people to hell in broad daylight. The show dives deep into the chaos that erupts as society grapples with these supernatural judgments. Season two is expected to explore the aftermath of the religious cult that formed in the wake of these “hellbound” decrees, and trust me, it’s about to get darker and even more twisted. The unsettling creatures, intense social commentary, and shocking deaths make this one a must-watch for 2024.

Whether you’re into eerie prequels, haunted houses, or creatures from the underworld, 2024 is about to bring some serious terror to your screen. With these five upcoming shows, there’s no shortage of ways to get your horror fix this year. Time to dim the lights and dive in!
