The Netflix original horror series Hemlock Grove has been out now long enough that most of you die-hard horror fans have probably seen all 13 episodes. The show has been divided by fans who have either loved it or hated it, personally, I really enjoyed the scope of the show and it left me wanting more. Those of us who did like the show have been left wondering whether or not there will be a second season as Netflix has been tight lipped about the ratings for the series.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like there might be a pretty good chance at a second season for Hemlock Grove. Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos made some comments about the future of Hemlock Grove.
The Netflix horror series Hemlock Grove launched April 19 to critical jeers but a bigger initial tune-in than critical favorite House of Cards. “Hemlock is much more polarizing; you either love it or hate it. The crossover for the people who love the show was American Horror Story, not The Vampire Diaries. It was incredibly popular in the Nordics because of the popularity of the Skarsgards [Bill Skarsgard stars] and in Latin America, where the horror genre is very big.”
On whether Hemlock Grove will be renewed:
“We’re hearing the pitches for the second season with plotlines and storylines now.”
On how do you reach your audience:
“For Hemlock Grove, we targeted a younger demographic, and it was less about the cast and more about the genre. We created a thematic trailer that was more focused on Eli Roth fans. We created one focused on the teen romance elements of the show. And then one focused on the thriller aspects of the show.”
On What genres you haven’t tackled but would like to try:
“The other thing I look at is the tween segment. Hemlock Grove is horror, but it’s not really CW horror; it’s much more adult than that. So I think that we’d like to look at some series in that category.”
So it sounds to me like there’s a pretty good chance we will see a second season of Hemlock Grove if the storyline is there.
