Netflix Interested in Hemlock Grove Season 2

If you enjoyed the first season of Hemlock Grove, there's a good chance that a second season will go into development. Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, recently spoke to THR about the possibility of a second season: "We’re hearing the pitches for the second season with plotlines and storylines now."

Regarding the mixed reaction that the series received from horror fans, Sarandos talked about who the show appealed to: "Hemlock is much more polarizing; you either love it or hate it. The crossover for the people who love the show was American Horror Story, not The Vampire Diaries. It was incredibly popular in the Nordics because of the popularity of the Skarsgards [Bill Skarsgard stars] and in Latin America, where the horror genre is very big... The other thing I look at is the tween segment. Hemlock Grove is horror, but it’s not really CW horror; it’s much more adult than that. So I think that we’d like to look at some series in that category."

For those that haven't seen Hemlock Grove, its a 13-episode Netflix original series produced by Eli Roth. All episodes are currently available on Netflix's streaming service.

“The Netflix Original Series “Hemlock Grove,” a riveting and eerie mystery from executive producer Eli Roth and based on Brian McGreevy’s novel of the same name, will be available for members to watch instantly and in its entirety beginning April 19, 2013.
