Shudder Renews The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs for Season 7

Fans of Shudder’s classic movie series The Last Drive-in With Joe Bob Briggs were met with some tremendous news on Thursday. The beloved horror host took to social media with a video, announcing to all of his followers that The Last Drive-In had been renewed for a seventh season. There’s no information on when the show will be coming back for more episodes, but he did promise that there would be more shenanigans in the future.

“Hey I’m Joe Bob Briggs and here we are in Deliverance country,” Briggs said. “We’re in the woods preparing for the Nightmareathon tomorrow and we just got word here that The Last Drive-In has been renewed for a seventh season. That means that we’re going to continue to do deep-dives for another year, with great movies and not-so-great movies and horrible movies. And lots of hijinks and shenanigans. So thank you for supporting us and please be with us tomorrow night for the Nightmareathon.”

As Briggs mentioned, the news comes just a day before The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon, which kicks off on August 30th at 9 pm ET on Shudder TV.
