In the event you’re a Stephen King fan who has requested your self, “What is going on on with Chapelwaite Season 2?” within the final 12 months, you are not alone. The primary season of the horror present starring Adrian Brody aired on EPIX in the summertime of 2021, and the community delivered a greenlight for a second season in February 2022… however we have heard virtually nothing about it since then. Sadly, we now have a solution as to why: it is not transferring ahead.
Jason Filardi, who developed Chapelwaite for tv alongside his brother Peter Filardi, has posted on his private Twitter account that Chapelwaite Season 2 within the works. Providing gratitude to the present’s viewers, he writes,
I am afraid Captain Boone’s story ends on that seaside of weathered, Maine sand. There shall be no season 2. Thanks to all of the Chapelwaite followers! #Chapelwaite
Chapelwaite Season 1 is an adaptation and enlargement of the Stephen King brief story “Jerusalem’s Lot” (the title change being a results of Gary Dauberman’s upcoming Salem’s Lot film) and, in contrast to the overwhelming majority of King’s fiction, is ready exterior of the twentieth/twenty first centuries. Set in 1850, the present follows Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody) and his youngsters (Jennifer Ens, Sirena Gulamgaus, Ian Ho) as they transfer from a life at sea into the city of Preacher’s Corners, Maine following the dying of Charles’ spouse. They transfer into the household’s ancestral dwelling – a home referred to as Chapelwaite – and so they uncover that there’s a darkish historical past hooked up to the residence that’s related to a horrible native plague.
The ten-episode first season additionally starred Emily Hampshire, Eric Peterson, Christopher Heyerdahl, Julian Richings, and Steven McCarthy. Throughout the present, Stephen King delivered excessive reward for it, calling it “Balls-to-the-wall gothic horror” and “all thriller, no filler.” It’s most undoubtedly not a present for the faint of coronary heart or those that do not just like the style. There’s some critically gross stuff taking place involving worms in addition to a terrifying child.
This new growth might be seen as each dangerous and excellent news from the attitude of a Stephen King fan. Chapelwaite exists as each one of many higher small display King diversifications and top-of-the-line diversifications of a King brief story (a traditionally tough enterprise), and it is a disgrace {that a} Season 2 will not be developed to convey extra consideration to it. That being mentioned, Season 1 ends with a satisfying sufficient conclusion to the story (which I will not spoil right here), and it would not depart audiences with an awesome variety of unanswered questions.
