The Creep Tapes Season 3: Canceled Or Renewed? What We Know Right Now
Fresh off a nerve-jangling Season 2 finale, The Creep Tapes—the found-footage fright series spun from Patrick Brice’s films starring Mark Duplass—has fans asking: is Shudder cueing up Season 3 or calling cut? Here’s the latest on the renewal status, timing, and what to expect next.
Season 2 of The Creep Tapes is wrapping up, so let me save you a stress scroll: yes, Season 3 is happening. The found-footage horror series is coming back, and there is a timeline, even if it is a little vague right now.
So, is Season 3 actually happening?
Yep. The show was officially renewed in October. Even though the series itself has not pulled the same raves as Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass's two films (which are genuinely genre greats), the viewership has been strong enough to lock in another round.
When will it premiere?
Season 3 is slated for 2026. No specific date yet, but the pattern is pretty clear: Season 1 landed on November 15, 2024, and Season 2 hit on November 14, 2025. If they stick to the same playbook, expect a mid-November 2026 drop.
What is the show again?
It is a spin on the Creep films, built around tapes pulled from the vault of one of the world's deadliest killers. The format sticks close to the movies: intimate, awkward, and unnerving found-footage setups that slowly curdle into something worse. Season 3 is expected to keep that format intact.
Who is back?
Mark Duplass is expected to return as the titular Creep. Like the films, he is the face and engine of this whole thing, so this is not exactly a shock.
"A serial killer lures videographers with the promise of a paid job documenting his life. As the camera keeps rolling, his intentions start to show through his increasingly strange behavior."
The quick timeline
- 2014: Patrick Brice's original film Creep launches the whole nightmare, followed by its sequel.
- Nov 15, 2024: The Creep Tapes Season 1 premieres.
- Oct (year not specified): Season 3 renewal announced.
- Nov 14, 2025: Season 2 drops.
- 2026: Season 3 planned, likely mid-November if they keep the pattern.
Bottom line: The Creep Tapes is renewed, it is coming in 2026, and it is sticking with the tape-by-tape format that made the movies so squirmy. More specifics should roll out as we get closer.
