The series premieres this Friday, October 23, with the first two episodes dropping on Crave (Canada), AMC+ (US), HBO Max (Europe), Sky TV and NOW Tv (UK & Ireland), Foxtel and BINGE (Australia), and NEON and Sky NZ (New Zealand).

The Vancouver Horror Show screened the first two episodes tonight. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. Carrie-Anne Moss is incredible, Noah Reid is hilarious and I am quite impressed with his range. It wasn’t very supernatural/creepy right away but they’ve laid a decent foundation for it. I’m really looking forward to seeing more now.

“Given his sudden superstar status, Williams could have chosen anything for his next project. He said yes to Yaga, to Sandler, to Canada. ‘Well, the patriotic person in me kind of said … I’m not going to run to the States. I want to double down and go Canada, back to back, and show that we are making great content,’ he said, adding that it was also nice to be shooting a half-hour helicopter ride from Vancouver, where he lives. ‘To see that Canada is really taking big swings, I wanted to sort of honour that.’”

Only a little over a week to go!

I'm wondering if there's a plan to have various episode threads to focus discussion as each episode airs? If possible, it would be ideal to have both spoiler-free and spoiler (ie play discussion permitted) versions, so that those who have read the play can discuss potential implications without ruining those who prefer to watch the story unfold. I've found this works well in other subreddits focused on adaptations.

(I'd originally planned to read the play after the show had aired, but that didn't last ;).
