What day and time will 'Slasher: Ripper' release? Everything you need to know about Shudder horror series
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Along with an official release announcement, two additional posters for 'Slasher: Ripper' have also surfaced. Each series of the Canadian program is structured as an eight-episode slasher film. Other than that, it's an anthology series in which each season presents a different tale while recycling as many performers as possible. If it looks like 'American Horror Story' to you, that was an obvious influence on Slasher's author Aaron Martin.
As far as offering lots of horrors and gore, Slasher: Ripper is likely to continue in the same violent footsteps as the versions that have preceded it. In fact, the teaser proclaims that it will be ‘the most brutal season of terror yet'.

In this aspect, the upcoming season seems very similar to Season 2, 'Guilty Party'.
