Quibi, the mobile streaming service that offers programming in bite-sized segments, is off to a rough start. With reports they are possibly looking to sell, the end could be near and that would probably be the end of a lot of really cool shows. One of those that received quite a bit of acclaim was Sam Raimi’s 50 States of Fright anthology, with scares coming from a different state every episode.
New episodes are on the way, this time focused on Washington, Iowa, Colorado, and Missouri. The cast he’s assembled for these is pretty great, too, and you can check ’em out in the below episode descriptions:
