Directors and segments announced for “V/H/S/BEYOND,” coming to Shudder this fall

The enduring anthology fright franchise has some fresh blood–and Mike Flanagan and Justin Long–involved in its latest entry.

Shudder has announced that V/H/S/BEYOND, the seventh installment in its found-footage movie series, will premiere on the streamer October 4. It will contain six segments, including one scripted by Flanagan and directed by his longtime actor Kate Siegel. The full lineup is:

  • “Stork”: Directed by Jordan Downey, screenplay by Downey and Kevin Stewart
  • “Fur Babies”: Written and directed by Christian Long and Justin Long
  • “Live and Let Dive”: Directed by Justin Martinez, story by Martinez and Ben Turner, screenplay by Ben Turner
  • “Dream Girl”: Directed by Virat Pal, written by Pal and Evan Dickson
  • “Stowaway”: Directed by Kate Siegel, written by Mike Flanagan
  • And a special presentation by Jay Cheel

V/H/S/BEYOND “features six new bloodcurdling tapes, placing horror at the forefront of a sci-fi-inspired hellscape,” according to Shudder. It follows the success of 2023’s V/H/S/85, which became that year’s most-watched exclusive premiere on Shudder and AMC+.
