Hulu's Into The Dark halted production for season 3 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is ramping up to make a comeback very soon - here's everything we know about its release date, cast, and story details.

Into The Darkpremiered in October 2018; each feature-length episode in the anthology series showcased a terrifying tale that relates to a specific holiday. The release schedule is based on this theme, creating one of the most dedicated holiday-themed horror anthologies currently available for streaming. Hulu ordered Into the Dark season 1 and season 2 for 12 episodes each, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, season 2 was cut short by two episodes, leaving fans wondering when the series could return. Blumhouse Television - a division of Blumhouse Productions - will help Into the Dark return sooner rather than later by picking up exactly where they left off.

While production forInto The Darkwas placed on hiatus, Blumhouse started several new projects, includingWelcome To The Blumhouseon Amazon Prime. It is also an anthology series, but doesn't have a theme like their Hulu original series does.Welcome To The Blumhousereleased four movies in total during the Halloween 2020 season that includedEvil Eye, Black Box, Nocturne,andThe Lie.The next set of horror flicks in Blumhouse's Welcome to the Blumhouseanthology will arrive sometime in 2021, but Into The Darkis coming back first, which might also suggest Blumhouse is alternating release dates. Here's what to expect fromInto the Dark's next installments.
