Season one of Stan Against Evil just finished, but will there be a season two? Recently, creator Dana Gould spoke to TVInsider about the future of the IFC series.
The horror-comedy follows Stan Miller (John C. McGinley), a perpetually disgruntled former sheriff who teams up with his replacement to fight off demons in a quaint New England town. Janet Varney, Nate Mooney, Deborah Baker Jr., Mick Ignis, and Danielle Phelan also star.
In the interview, Gould revealed he has plans for a second season of Stan Against Evil:
[The second season] is going to be The Search for Spock. If you remember when Spock dies at the end of Wrath of Khan, and he put his, whatever they called it, juju into McCoy at the beginning of the movie, and McCoy was walking around hearing Spock in his head all the time. That’s what it’s going to be. The connection between Stan and Evie is so strong that he either thinks that he’s insane, he’s crazy and the world is right or the world is crazy and he’s right. That’s what he has to figure out.”
He also said he has plans to continue telling different kinds of stories:
No, I still want to do monster of the week. I find the mythology episodes, by and large, aren’t as funny, because they don’t give you the ability to be as funny as the standalones. Episode 6 is a standalone. Well, I guess it’s not a standalone. I guess it’s a mythology show. If Eccles is in it, it’s a mythology show. I think it’s both. The beauty of the show is it allows me to do, like yeah, I’m going to do my Search for Spock episode, now I’m going to do my Night of the Living Dead episode, I want to do an episode that’s basically All of Me where Evie is very strongly in Stan. I think it gives us a lot of opportunity to tell a lot of different kinds of stories in this very compact canvas.”
IFC has not yet announced a renewal for Stan Against Evil. Season one ratings were not high, with the average viewership around 179,000 and the 18-49 demo rating at .07.
What do you think? Have you seen Stan Against Evil? Do you want a second season?
Yes I like it
Yes please make season 2!!! I love the show it funny and gory. Great story line, I feel there more to be told in this show and to grow on. If there a season 2 I’m going to watch it and love every minute of it. So I have high hopes of season 2.
2ND season? Yes, please! The show is great with lots of room to grow, and new stories to tell. I’ve told everyone I know about this show… and they all say “what is IFC?”lol.
If Stan gets a 2nd season I’ll be watching!
Great job Dana Gould!
This show is fantastic, I would very much like to see a second season
Yes for season 2 my wife and I love it. Love the x sherif
Yes to Season 2! Season one is hilarious!
Absolutely make season 2!!!!
I enjoy this show. Ive watched every episode which is rare for me.
Love the show. Can’t wait for season two.
I love Stan Against Evil. I watched the season twice and have been telling everyone about how fun it is.
Different I liked that.
I feel it’s a good escape from all the drama or reality TV….surprisingly, I’m enjoying it despite the horror aspect…..I will not watch horror…but this….this is very funny….and the horror happens when least expected. It’s a show that “you just can’t make this sh$t up”!!!
Needs to be renewed this show is hilarious. I love Stan his quips make the show and it would be a serious disappointment if it were cancelled.
Just like most great shows, Stan Against Evil, will gain more popularity with each rerun and new season. The show is just getting its stride. I sure hope it doesn’t go the way of Firefly.
Please renew Stan!!! Johnny C is AWESOME!!! There’s too many PC shows on TV! Stan’s the man!!!
