(Beverly Hills, CA - June 19, 2013) - The Netflix Original Series
"Hemlock Grove," a riveting and eerie mystery from executive producer
Eli Roth and based on Brian McGreevy's novel of the same name, will
return with a second season next year. Seasoned showrunner Charles H.
(Chic) Eglee ("The Walking Dead," "Dexter," "The Shield") joins the
popular series as executive producer in season two.

"The worldwide fan response to 'Hemlock Grove' was phenomenal" said
Executive Producer Eli Roth. "Netflix members loved the potent
combination of sexy monsters, mystery, and the dark family soap opera
that ended with a huge twist, leaving audiences worldwide totally
shocked. Season One was just a warm up for what we have in store for
season two. Get ready to be scared in ways you never expected."

"In its first season, Eli, Brian, Lee and the team did an incredible
job of introducing viewers to a unique world of memorable characters,"
said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.
"Chic's addition to the show, and his experience on such fan favorites
as 'The Shield,' 'The Walking Dead' and 'Dexter," will heighten the
intensity of the mystery that grips Hemlock Grove."

"We are thrilled to be working with Netflix on the second season of
'Hemlock Grove', a show that the audience has enthusiastically
embraced," commented Katie O'Connell, CEO of Gaumont International
Television.

The series stars Famke Janssen ("X-Men"), Bill Skarsgard ("Simon & The
Oaks"), Landon Liboiron ("Terra Nova"), Freya Tingley ("X"), and
Dougray Scott ("Mission Impossible II"). The second season will
consist of 10 episodes that will go into production later this year.
The sophomore season of "Hemlock Grove" will premiere in 2014.

"Hemlock Grove" is a gothic horror thriller which explores the strange
happenings in a small Pennsylvania town. The show focuses on the
unlikely friendship between the founding family's young heir, Roman
Godfrey, and the relative newcomer and outsider, Peter Rumancek. Each
holds a monstrous secret that has been unleashed.

The drama series is the first foray into television by internationally
acclaimed horror master Eli Roth ("Hostel," "Cabin Fever"). It was
developed by Brian McGreevy & Lee Shipman and is executive produced by
Roth, Eglee, McGreevy & Shipman, Eric Newman and Michael Connolly. The
one-hour gothic thriller is produced by Gaumont International
Television for Netflix.

I'm doing a little Snoopy dance, and I haven't even finished all of the
first season yet.
