“Slasher: Ripper” is on the way early this year from Shudder, the brand new fifth season of the slasher-based horror anthology series that originally kicked off back in 2016.
The series premieres with TWO EPISODES on April 6 only on Shudder and AMC+. Check out the brand new official trailer for “Slasher: Ripper” below, along with poster art.
“Slasher: Ripper” takes the franchise back in time to the late 19th century and stars Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) as Basil Garvey, a charismatic tycoon whose success is only rivaled by his ruthlessness, as he oversees a city on the cusp of a new century, and a social upheaval that will see its streets run red with blood.
There’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, The Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful.
The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may wind up being yet another victim of The Widow.
Produced by Shaftesbury, the new season of “Slasher” is exec produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Thomas P. Vitale, Aaron Martin, Ian Carpenter and Adam Macdonald.
