While today saw a new trailer launched for the upcoming Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark anthology horror movie, now comes word on a small-screen horror anthology having found a home.

Courtesy of Deadline, The CW has picked up Two Sentence Horror Stories for an eight-episode run that will premiere August 8th.

Two Sentence Horror Stories began life as a short-form five-episode digital series in 2017, created by Best Friends Forever’s Vera Miao (pictured). Miao will serve as executive producer on The CW’s take on the property.

The official blurb on Two Sentence Horror Stories reads:

Inspired by the viral fan fiction of two sentence horror stories, this anthology series taps into universal primal fears, filtered through the anxieties of the most connected and racially diverse generation.

Despite dizzying advancements in technology, inequality, social progress and environmental degradation… the things that haunt us are all still the same.

Expect more on The CW’s Two Sentence Horror Stories as it continues to develop.
