TERROR TRAIN 2 IS FULL STEAM AHEAD AT TUBI 

The Sequel Is Set To Premiere this New Year’s Eve with Robyn Alomar (“Utopia Falls”) and Tim Rozon (“Schitt’s Creek”) Returning

SAN FRANCISCO November 28, 2022 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), in collaboration with Incendo, has laid the tracks for the sequel to its recent remake of the cult classic horror film TERROR TRAIN. A Tubi Original, TERROR TRAIN 2 introduces a brand new storyline, slated to premiere this New Year’s Eve, which pays homage to the festive setting of the first film that famously took place at a NYE party.

Having survived the carnage, Robyn Alomar (Alana) and Tim Rozon (The Magician) will reprise their characters in TERROR TRAIN 2, which takes place over a year after the gruesome, vengeful murders took the lives of multiple college seniors aboard the now infamous “Terror Train.” In the sequel, the remaining survivors are coerced to take a New Year’s Eve redemption ride on the very same train, where a new evil awaits and the terrified passengers must once again fight to survive the ride.

“Our remake reintroduced a new generation to TERROR TRAIN, and now Tubi’s first ever horror sequel expands on the premise with a completely original storyline,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “This new ride aboard the Terror Train begins on New Year’s Eve with ‘Final Girl’ Alana and the mysterious Magician facing a new menace in this horror whodunit.”

“Horror-genre franchises have proven time and time again to be some of the most successful film brands,” added Brook Peters, Managing Director and Senior Vice-President, Sales & Production Operations & Executive Producer (Incendo). “In the sequel, we’re thrilled to offer horror fans a seamless and terrifying continuation of the story that also pays a themed-tribute to the original 1980 cult classic.”

Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (“Slasher”) return as the writing duo, as does director Philippe Gagnon (“Amber Alert”). TERROR TRAIN 2 is produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh with Executive Producers Graham Ludlow, Shari Segal and Brook Peters. The sequel wrapped production in Montreal and will be available in the U.S. exclusively on Tubi on December 31, 2022.

Tubi’s TERROR TRAIN remake, produced by Incendo, premiered on October 21st as part of the platform’s successful annual month-long Halloween-inspired genre celebration, “Terror on Tubi” which has seen a 60% growth in viewership year-over-year (YoY). TERROR TRAIN premiered at #1 on the platform and attracted more viewers than any other movie or series on Tubi through the Halloween holiday. It joined over 10,000 horror and thriller titles during the month of October on Tubi, further cementing the platform as the premier destination for horror fans.

Soon, terrifying ghostly experiences in the home begin to close in on Julie, stirring up her past demons and causing others to question her mental stability. Trapped and forced to face her past, and the supernatural, Julie fights to protect herself and her unborn baby.

“We’re very excited to be the exclusive home for this gripping psychological thriller that has you wondering until the very end if what we see is to be believed,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “Melissa is absolutely captivating in BED REST and we can’t wait for audiences to see her incredible portrayal of this isolated character working through her grief while facing frightening supernatural elements.”

“As a first-time producer, it is my profound pleasure to be partnering with Tubi to bring BED REST to a savvy and engaged audience,” said Barrera. “While on the surface, BED REST is a horror film, it is a story that will resonate deeply with anyone who’s experienced grief and been haunted by loss. Lori Evans Taylor has created a deeply emotional journey for audiences, and I’m grateful to my partners at Project X and STX for bringing us together to share this story with the world.”

“Tubi has been an excellent partner and we are excited to be collaborating once again on a new, original movie that will leave their viewers who are looking for creeps and supernatural twists and scares truly satisfied,” said David Spiegelman, President, Domestic TV & Digital Distribution for STXfilms.

“We knew Melissa was the perfect choice to headline this film with her natural talent and work ethic,” said Project X Entertainment. “Having the pleasure of working with Melissa on two “Scream” films, she’s showcased her interest in all facets of filmmaking and proved to be an unbelievable producing partner, as well as a welcome part to the PXE family. We’re excited that all of us could come together to tell this thrilling story that Lori Evans Taylor created in her directorial debut.”Barrera captivated audiences in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s movie musical adaptation of “In the Heights,” for Warner Bros. She can currently be seen in the Netflix global hit “Keep Breathing” which premiered #1 in the Top 10 and  remained there for weeks. Barrera will soon star as the title character in the musical “Carmen,” opposite Paul Mescal for Sony  Pictures Classics. She previously starred in Paramount and Spy Glass Media’s latest installment of the iconic horror franchise “Scream,” and will reprise her role in the next installment set for a March 10, 2023 release.

Taylor recently completed the script for “Final Destination 6” which is currently in pre-production. She is also currently working on the script “I Am Still Alive,” starring and produced by Ben Affleck. Her previous credits include “Lucky Dog,” “Welcome Home” and others.
