“Customers loved the first series of Lore for its unique blend of narrative and documentary storytelling and we’re excited to give them another series of this suspenseful hybrid show,” said Heather Schuster, Head of Unscripted, Amazon Originals. “Sean brings great experience in the supernatural genre, and we’re excited for him to help us tell even more frightening and visually captivating stories.”
“As a fan of documentaries and horror, Lore resonates with me on so many levels,” said Hurd. “Series two is shaping up to be scarier and even more compelling and unnerving than our first one!”
“With Sean Crouch at the helm, Lore is set to be scarier than ever. In series two, we will explore global, real-life horror stories that make this series unlike anything else on television. We are thrilled to be back on Prime Video,” said Silverman and Owens.
“From monsters to the macabre, series two is not only the stuff of nightmares…it’s real,” said Jenkins.
