Dana Gould, Janet Varney, John C. McGinley and Co. are returning for Stan Against Evil Season 2.
If you were spending your time out in the field picking berries and missed the gore-fest that was IFC’s Stan Against Evil, now is your chance to catch up. IFC announced that Stan Against Evil season 2 is a lock, and will premiere sometime in 2017.
The horror-comedy from creator Dana Gould took on demonic pigs, ghostly ghouls, and the walking undead, and came out unscathed in a successful first season. The ratings were low by cable standards, but in a release IFC touted the “significant” increase in Live+7 viewing after each episode aired in its original time slot. That’s a positive sign moving forward as IFC hopes to building a following for the genre show.
Stan Against Evil stars John C. McGinley who plays Stan Miller, a chippy, disgruntled former sheriff of a small New England town who was forced into retirement after an outburst at his wife’s funeral. Stan gives up his badge for big city cop Evie Barret (played by Janet Varney), and the duo forms an alliance when shit goes bananas in the haunted town.
"It was so great to see Stan connect with its fans. Thanks to DVRs, the audience more than doubled each week. That amazed me,” said creator Dana Gould in a statement. “I love the characters and I love the world, and I'm very grateful we all get to go back to Willard’s Mill and blow up more stuff."
