Amazon Prime Video viewers are urging everyone to binge-watch a horror TV series that ‘deserved more attention.’

Three of the four seasons of Channel Zero are now available to stream on the streaming platform, free for subscribers.

An anthology series, the storylines for all the episodes are based on popular creepypastas (horror content posted on the internet).

Channel Zero’s first season was based on cartoonist and performer Kris Straub’s Candle Cove.

Starring Parks and Recreation’s Paul Schneider and Killing Eve’s Fiona Shaw, it centres on a child psychologist who returns to his hometown to determine if his brother’s disappearance is connected to a bizarre children’s television series.

The second season follows a young woman and her group of friends as they visit a house of horrors, only to find themselves questioning whether it is a tourist attraction or something more sinister.

Channel Zero’s third season focuses on a young woman and her schizophrenic sister who move to a city haunted by a series of disappearances and, after suspecting that they may be connected to a baffling rumour, they must work together to discover what is preying on the city’s residents.

On X, viewers have hailed Channel Zero as ‘one of the best horror TV shows ever made.’

Echoing their sentiment, @ZacBeThompson shared: ‘So pumped for #ChannelZero’s return tonight. The best horror show on television. Previous seasons have had sharp writing, incredible atmosphere and chilling visuals. Butcher’s Block looks no different.’

@RHStavis commented: ‘Like wtf is this?! Heartbreaking. #IYKYK #channelzero But also if you don’t know, don’t sleep on this incredible series..’

@cevangelista also added: ‘CHANNEL ZERO, a horror series that deserved more attention.’

Channel Zero is not the only horror TV show to have gripped Amazon Prime Video users.

They are also ‘hopelessly hooked’ on Australian series Wolf Creek, which has flown under the radar since its initial release in 2016.

A spin-off of the movie of the same name, the show follows Eve (Lucy Fry), a 19-year-old American tourist in Australia, who is targeted by the crazed serial killer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt).
However, she survives his attack and embarks on a mission of revenge.

Both seasons of Wolf Creek, which initially aired on streamer Stan, are now available to binge-watch on Amazon Prime Video.

On Google, viewers have hailed the horror as ‘phenomenal’ but warned it was ‘not for the faint-hearted.’

Channel Zero is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
