In the midst of next month, Netflix Original Series is primed to release their third series, Hemlock Grove, all in one go.Horror auteur Eli Roth is sitting in the executive producer’s chair on this project that is based on the novel of the same name by Brian McGreevy, who also helped develop the series.

Hemlock Grove begins with the mysterious investigation of 17-year-old Brooke Bluebell’s murder. As rumors mount, two of the suspects in her killing, Peter Rumancek, a 17-year-old Gypsy trailer trash kid rumored to be a werewolf, and Roman, the heir to the Godfrey estate, decide to find the killer themselves.

 

Thus far, I’ve loved the innovative strategy of simultaneous release that Netflix’s unique platform has afforded them. It makes addiction that much sweeter and has the potential to quickly throttle interest in the ever expanding streaming medium. With House of Cards now a measured success and an eagerly anticipated continuation of Arrested Development sure to blow the roof off of ratings, it looks like Netflix may truly be on to something here.

Starring Famke Janssen (X-Men Trilogy), Bill Skarsgård, Landon Liboiron, Penelope Mitchell, Freya Tingley and Dougray Scott, all 13 episodes of Hemlock Grove launch on Netflix April 19th.
