There is currently no movement onEvil Dead 2, a sequel to the reboot, but we’ve heard it’s still in the works.

As forCreepshow, Shudder is currently shooting a new anthology series based on the classic collaboration between Stephen King and George Romero. We’ve already gotten a peek at the Creep’s return, and King will be contributing at lease one episode to the new series.
