The upcoming show will be holding an open call this coming Saturday in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, where the series will be filming. The show’s casting team is looking for child actors and many child extras.

The SyFy Network is working on a new Horror TV series, “Channel Zero.” The show will be following in the vein of “American Horror Story” and is being described as an anthology featuring a new horror story each season. The show has been given a go by NBC Universal with a 2 season order with the first season consisting of 12 hour long episodes.

According to a story in Variety, The new SyFy show will be kicking off with “Channel Zero: Candle Cove.” “Candle Cove” is inspired by a story written by Kris Straub, which made a big splash online under the name “creepypasta.”   “Channel Zero: Candle Cove” focuses on a man who keeps recalling a mysterious children’s TV program from the 1980’s. He becomes convinced that the show had a more sinister purpose and may have in fact played a role in a series of murders during that time. Also according to Variety, the new show is created by Nick Antosca (“Hannibal,” “Teen Wolf”), who wrote the pilot episode and Max Landis (“Chronicle,” “American Ultra”). Both Landis and Antosca will also serve as executive producers on the new SyFy series.
