GSN’s Hellevator Returns for a Second Season

The Soska Sisters-hosted horror game show Hellevator returns for another round in October

Chasing its first go around last year, GSN’s hit horror game show Hellevator will return to the scare waves for a second season on Friday, October 7th at 9pm. The show will once more be lorded over by Canadian-based cult horror filmmaking siblings Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary, See No Evil 2), who act as the puppet-masters, pulling the strings and controlling the game behind the scenes..

In each hour-long episode, a team of four friends rides a haunted elevator into various levels of an abandoned slaughterhouse where they have to complete a series of horrifying challenges in order to win up to $50,000. Each episode is loosely based on a true crime story related to one of the Seven Deadly Sins (greed, sloth, anger, envy, gluttony, lust and pride) and players must face challenges related to one or more of the Sins in order to win money and move ahead in the game.

Hellevator is produced by Matador and Blumhouse Productions, in association with Lionsgate Television. Executive Producers are Jason Blum (“Paranormal Activity,” “The Purge,” “Ouija” and “Insidious” franchises), who won a 2014 Emmy® Award for The Normal Heart, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Whiplash; Matador’s Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin (producers of “Lip Sync Battle”); and Daniel Soiseth (“America’s Next Top Model”).
