In the series “Chapelwaite,” Oscar winner Adrien Brody (“The Pianist”) plays Captain Charles Boone, who moves with his three children to the family estate Chapelwaite after the tragic death of his wife. But the newcomers are not welcome in the neighboring town, and things don’t seem to be going well in the walls themselves. Charles Boone begins to investigate his family’s past and discovers terrifying things.
But now no more secrets are revealed in ‘Chapelwaite’ as the horror series was canceled after just one season. You can currently stream the first season with a Disney+ subscription.
Showrunner Jason Filardi, who also wrote the Stephen King film adaptation with his brother Peter Filardi, announced on There will be no second season. Thank you to all Chapelwaite fans!”
‘Chapelwaite’ was produced by the American pay-TV channel EPIX, which was rebranded as MGM+ in early 2023. In February 2022, EPIX said a second season of “Chapelwaite” was officially in development. In season 2, viewers must learn “that the Boone curse did not die with Jakub, and that despite Charles’ selfless act at the end of season 1, the De Vermis Mysteriis [eine Art Zauberbuch] is as powerful as ever and remains as tempting to a new generation of vampires.
‘Chapelwaite’: Stephen King’s vampire saga
‘Chapelwaite’ is based on ‘Letters from Jerusalem’ by Stephen King from his short story collection “Night Shift”. In the original the story is called “Jerusalem’s Lot”, not to be confused with the novel “Salem’s Lot (German title: “Burn must Salem”).
By the way, the title similarity is not a coincidence: a new translation of the Jerusalem short story was also printed in 2006 in a new edition of the Salem novel – and here the appearance becomes clear: the stories, like so many things in the Stephen King universe are interconnected; After all, both take place in the same fictional town that is populated by vampires…
By the way, the vampires from this small town called Jerusalem’s Lot will soon be up to mischief again in a feature film: the novel ‘Salem Must Burn’ was written by ‘ES’ screenwriter Gary Dauberman re-filmed. ‘Salem’s Lot’, as the film and book were originally called, has been completed since 2021 and is awaiting release – which may not take place in theaters as originally planned, but directly on Warner’s streaming service Max. more about this:
