    In 2015, Syfy announced that they had greenlit Channel Zero for twelve episodes, which would air as two six episode seasons. The first season would center upon the popular creepypasta Candle Cove and would be based on a script written by Antosca. The second season would focus on a new story, also based on a creepypasta or urban legend story. Universal Cable Production would serve as the production company for the series, with Landis and Antosca both serving as the series' executive producers.

    Craig William Macneill was chosen to direct the first season of Channel Zero in February 2016. Paul Schneider and Fiona Shaw were confirmed as starring in Channel Zero's first season in June 2016. Schneider is set to portray Mike Painter, a child psychologist whose twin brother went missing years before and whose mother, portrayed by Shaw, is reluctant to indulge his desire to investigate.
