The horror anthology series “Folklore” premiered on HBO almost two years ago and is just now receiving a second season order, says Variety, who writes that WarnerMedia has confirmed a seven-episode second season of its HBO Asia original.
Each installment will be directed by a local director from a different Asian territory.
“Folklore” Season 2 will feature a mix of established and up-and-coming auteurs, each with distinct sensibilities, including two female directors from the region, HBO said. None return from the first season. The company explained that the new season would “up the fear factor” and “examine the human condition when exposed to supernatural powers in a mind-bending race against oneself.”
The seven directors for the second season include: Sittisiri Mongkolsiri from Thailand; Shih-Han Liao from Taiwan; Erik Matti from the Philippines; Billy Christian from Indonesia; Nicole Midori Woodford from Singapore; and Bradley Liew from Malaysia. Japanese pop singer-songwriter, Matsuda Seiko, will be making a directorial debut with her segment.
With production again headed by Singapore-based filmmaker Eric Khoo, the new season will begin filming early in 2021. The competed series will be carried later in the year by HBO and HBO Go, and most likely HBO Max.
