It was previously revealed that the next chapter in the V/H/S series would pivot slightly from its predecessors and explore tales of terror set more in a sci-fi world, with Shudder today confirming the next installment, V/H/S/Beyond, would be arriving on the service in October. Much like previous entries, the upcoming project is set to feature a blend of new and established filmmakers, with the roster of Beyond including segments from Drag Me to Hell and Barbarian star Justin Long as well as The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan. You can check out the full roster of talent below before V/H/S/Beyond hits Shudder on October 4th.

Per press release, "Shudder, AMC Networks' premium streaming service for horror, thriller, and the supernatural, revealed today the title, release date, and director lineup of the seventh installment of the V/H/S franchise. The Shudder Original Film in association with Studio71, officially titled V/H/S/Beyond, will premiere on the streamer on October 4th and will feature six new bloodcurdling tapes, placing horror at the forefront of a sci-fi-inspired hellscape."

The original trilogy of V/H/S films became an unexpected birthplace for filmmakers currently dominating the genre space, with those films featuring segments from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's Adam Wingard, MaXXXine's Ti West, Moon Knight's Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, and Dark Side of the Ring's Jason Eisener. After years of the franchise's stagnation, it has been revived in recent years and features a mix of newcomers and genre veterans, which includes V/H/S/85 featuring a segment from The Black Phone's Scott Derrickson.

V/H/S/Beyond hits Shudder on October 4th.
