Horror Wildlife Docuseries “Nightmares of Nature” In Development
Blumhouse has some iconic content that has come out and is in the works. With Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends to the trilogy on The Exorcist on the horizon, Blumhouse has certainly been busy. Now, Blumhouse is teaming up with Plimsoll Productions for a docuseries titled Nightmares of Nature, which is said to be a horror wildlife docuseries that will follow all of the horrors of nature. It will follow the creepy and unworldly things that happen in nature and the series is currently in development to be released within the next few years.
Deadline states that “The two companies are developing Nightmares of Nature, a series that follows animal heroes battling to survive the true-life horrors only real nature can provide. The idea is to blend natural history filmmaking through a horror lens, a place where trees bleed, zombie snails dwell, and vampire fish reign supreme.”
Chris McCumber (President of Blumhouse Television) states “Plimsoll is best in class in the world of natural history and factual programming and in Nightmares of Nature Plimsoll and Blumhouse are playing to our storytelling and producing strengths.”
Alan Eyres (Head of Plimsoll USA) states “It’s only natural to be scared about the things that go bump in the night, but Nightmares of Nature isn’t a projection of the supernatural. Once you start looking at the natural world, you will find things as terrifying as anything in a horror movie. To tell that story, we could not hope for better collaborators than Blumhouse. Combining the world’s greatest horror filmmakers with some of the world’s best natural history storytellers is a unique opportunity to create a more visceral, emotional point of entry to nature than anything we’ve seen before.”
Plimsoll Productions is one of the biggest production companies that create wildlife documentaries and series. Based out of the United Kingdom, they provide content for many companies such as Disney Plus and CNN. They have created things such as the shows Hostile Plant, Tiny World, and Big Beasts.
At the moment, no network or platform has been attached to this docuseries yet. We imagine that networks and streaming platforms will be eagerly fighting to get this series.
Combining the biggest horror production company and the biggest wildlife company to create a horror documentary series is something that we can look forward to.
