A week ahead of the streaming service's launch, Quibi unveiled a new trailer for one of its most anticipated original series: 50 States of Fright.
Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Sam Raimi, the horror anthology series will feature standalone episodes, each set in a different state. The stories are inspired by the urban legends and folklore of its setting.
Set to an ominously haunting rendition of "My Country 'Tis of Thee," the trailer for the series boasts its all-star cast, as it explores urban legends set in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon and Washington. Each set of characters faces a different terrifying nightmare.
Created by former Walt Disney Studios Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, Quibi is a digital platform designed for audiences streaming video content through their mobile devices, with installments running for ten minutes or less.
The first season of 50 States of Fright stars Rachel Brosnahan, Travis Fimmel, Christina Ricci, Jacob Batalon, Ming-Na Wen, Taissa Farmiga, Asa Butterfield, John Marshall Jones, Ron Livingston, Victoria Justice, Karen Allen, James Ransone and William B. Davis. The series will be part of Quibi's original programming library when the platform launches on April 6.
