PREMISE
”PURGATORY" is a Neo-Noir SUPERNATURAL ANTHOLOGY SERIES set in the Past and Present day. When the veil between the Living and Dead lifts for 36 hours over Halloween, souls trapped in Purgatory return for answers. An Afterlife Guardian explains it’s a second chance, an opportunity to settle scores to find peace.
Call it Dia de Muertos, Samhain or Halloween - the portals open at dusk on October 30th, closing again on November 1st, Judgement Day and always arrives on a weekend. Each season follows a different soul, who lived in another time and the culture of the location determines the faith set of their Guardian.
THE SERIES
“PURGATORY” is a lightening rod for Horror Fans looking for a new spin on Halloween, with enough real history to resonate with costume drama junkies.
Tales of Souls returning to walk the earth are found in the folklore and religions spanning thousands of years, captivating the imaginations of humankind the world over. Whether set in India, China or Italy, each season applies local spiritual traditions to the 36 hour template blending global mythos for franchise growth with evergreen themes of justice, identity, karma, and second chances.
WHY NOW?
The climate crisis, pandemic, wars raging in Europe and the mid-East has increased a hunger for entertainment offering security in the future. Precisely as it was in early 20th century New York (Season 1) audiences are turning to paganism, polytheistic faiths and magic for escape.
