SLAUGHTER: The TV Series

Slaughter: The TV Series is a TV show developed by Kolplain Productions for MTV, Spike, and Paramount's channel. The show currently consists of two seasons, with the third in development at the moment, with a scheduled release sometime in 2021. Slaughter got its first season as a surprise from Kolplain in 2015, and it was received with praise. It was also the first project by Kolplain that wasn't in the Ultima universe at the time. Slaughter's first season is frequently compared to that of Scream: The TV Series, basically carrying over the amount of cheap gore and cheesiness. Although both of the shows are similar, there is one difference. Slaughter makes it actually good and entertaining. After the first season's ratings were in, Kolplain saw how loved the series was and tripled the budget for the 2nd season. As a result, the 2nd season exploded with popularity, with even Blumhouse making an offer to purchase the franchise. Of course, Kolplain kindly declined, but Kolplain is developing a film of Slaughter alongside Blumhouse with a release date currently unknown. The 2nd season's gore was exceptionally high quality for a slasher TV series, and the character development was much better than some great horror movies out there. For this quality, Kolplain immediately commenced production as soon as season one's ratings were in, giving it a year and a half of production time. The 2nd season also brought back Owen and Ashley from season one and put effort into making every single character, including Ashley (the main character), a suspect. The ending of season two left the show on a cliffhanger, and for a while, it seemed like that was the end until 2 years after the end of the 2nd season in 2019. The teaser for season 3, released in late October, seemingly shows Owen as the killer, but we won't know until next year. In the meanwhile, Kolplain announced, alongside the PCU announcement, that Slaughter would be returning in a comic-book series, film, and possible spin-offs. All of the announced Slaughter projects, except for season 3, currently have no release dates.
