Netflix has quietly announced that is removing one of its first original series, the three season-long horror-fantasy “Hemlock Grove,” from its platform on October 22nd reports Slashfilm.
Premiering in 2013, the series followed the citizens of a Pennsylvania town which is being hit by a string of brutal murders. A wealthy scion (Bill Skarsgard) and a town newcomer (Landon Liboiron) with their own supernatural secrets team up to investigate.
Famke Janssen co-starred in the series as the woman who runs the town’s biomedical facility and the mother of Skarsgard’s character. Netflix released all three seasons on physical media so it won’t be completely gone.
The move, along with HBO Max’s recent removal of original programming due to cost, has raised concern. Netflix has only released some of its originals in physical form or for digital purchase elsewhere, so what happens when they potentially remove something not available elsewhere? For now, no official statement has been given as to a reason for the show’s removal.
