To give you an excellent start to your new year, the new upcoming series, Archive 81, is going to greet your screens next year as confirmed. Rebecca Thomas, the director of Stranger things, will be directing four episodes of this series so that viewers can have high expectations from it. She will also be the co-producer for the series. Since it’s a horror series, and it’s going to be quite mysterious, we can expect to be at the edge of our seats at all times.
The inspiration for the series comes from the podcast that goes by the same name. So the storyline of the series will be similar to the podcast but not the same. Some elements may be added or eliminated as per the needs of the officials making the series.
When will the Series Premiere be in January?
The horror series Archive 81 will premiere on January 14, 2022, as announced by the officials. The series is set to release a total of eight episodes in its first season. As stated above, since the podcast is three seasons long, it won’t be a surprise if the series works for three-season timings, but that is only if the first season does well on the screen. The series is supposedly going to have one hour each.
