Horror heavyweight Eli Roth is best known for spine-tingling flicks like Hostel and Cabin Fever, but he’s dabbled in the world of television before. Last year, Roth executive-produced all 13 episodes of Netflix’s Hemlock Grove, a show that, despite its mixed reception, has been renewed for a second season (due to drop this July). Now, with his long-anticipated The Green Inferno primed to hit theaters in September, Roth is jumping back into the small screen for South of Hell.
Roth will direct the pilot episode of the horror thriller, which is set to premiere on We tv sometime next year. If the network sounds unfamiliar, that’s because We tv is known primarily for reality shows like Bridezillas and Obsessed with the Dress. It will premiere its first scripted series, legal drama The Divide, in July.
In addition to directing the pilot, Roth will executive-produce, alongside Jason Blum, Gerard Bocaccio,...
