FEARnet was happy with the performance of Holliston's first 2 episodes and has officially renewed the series for a second season.
FEARnet made the announcement via Deadline, which included the following quotes from FEARnet President Peter Block and Adam Green: “Holliston resonates with both genre junkies and more mainstream comedy fans alike, making our first push into original programming a successful attempt for diversifying our schedule and showing the breadth of our audience,”
"[Adam] Green said he has been 'overjoyed' by the audience’s reaction to the show. 'It’s amazing to watch the characters be embraced so quickly and to see fans quoting it on Twitter, Facebook and at conventions around the country,' he said."
"Holliston is a riotous and offbeat multi-camera, buddy comedy starring Adam Green (director, “Hatchet,” “Frozen”), and Joe Lynch (director, “Knights of Badassdom,” “Wrong Turn 2”). Set in the town of Holliston (near Boston), the series shines a light on the post-college life where everything is a struggle, and nothing works out like it’s supposed to, with terrifyingly funny results as Adam and Joe struggle to become big-time horror filmmakers, and Adam embarrasses himself as he tries to win back his high school girlfriend. Think of “Holliston” as “Big Bang Theory” meets “Evil Dead 2.”
The third episode of Holliston premieres tonight and we've included a clip from the upcoming episode below:
