Over the past few years, Shudder’s The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs has become one of that streaming platform’s signature shows. Each episode offers up a brand-new spooky double-feature hosted by the man himself (alongside FANGORIA contributor Diana “Darcy the Mail Girl” Prince), and the communal experience that’s grown up around these viewings (shout-out to the #MutantFam on Twitter) is quite unlike anything else happening in the world of horror. We thank the Dark Lord that it exists!
Today, we’re pleased to be relaying the following: The Last Drive-In is on its way back for an all-new fifth season, which will begin rolling out on April 21st at 9PM EST, live on Shudder TV. And that’s not all – for the first time ever, The Last Drive-In will also air on AMC+ TV, as well, with every episode being made available to stream on both Shudder and AMC+ the Sunday after it airs.
Are you somehow unfamiliar with The Last Drive-In? Here’s a description, via the press release we just received at FANGORIA HQ:
