10 Horror TV Shows That Deserved Another Season
2. Archive 81
And now, introducing yet another wicked Netflix horror show that got cancelled after one season due to budgetary/viewership concerns; Archive 81 - come on down!
Archive 81 is the most recent addition to this list, having only been released earlier this year, meaning the wound is still pretty fresh for many people. It is safe to say the thought of not getting another season of this gnarly series will take some getting used to, as it was a thrilling tale that deserved another instalment.
Based on the podcast of the same name, this series followed an archivist and a young grad student filmmaker. This duo - Dan and Melody - sought to restore the latter's ruined footage from a documentary of her investigations into a cult. Naturally, supernatural hijinks soon occurred.
The show was a fascinating combination of mystery and thrills, with a slow build leading to some truly terrifying scares. Its plot also went from zero to one hundred, as things got perplexing and insane towards the end. That same trend would have likely continued into season two.
It's always a shame when a show ends before its time, but this one stings as there's more source material to cover and many unanswered questions.
