The Creep Tapes Season 3 Has Quietly Started Filming—Here’s What We Know So Far
Cameras are already rolling on season 3 of Shudder’s The Creep Tapes, the chilling continuation of the Creep franchise—expect fresh nightmare fuel as the tapes start stacking up.
Today is a good day to be a Creep fan. With the season 2 finale of The Creep Tapes landing today, Mark Duplass just casually let slip that season 3 is already rolling cameras. Not a shocker, but still very fun to hear.
How we got here
- 2014: Writer/director Patrick Brice and co-writer/star Mark Duplass team with Blumhouse Productions for the found-footage horror film Creep.
- 2017: Sequel time with Creep 2, which keeps the momentum going.
- Originally: A third movie was in the works to finish it as a trilogy. Then the plan pivoted to TV.
- November 2024: The Creep Tapes season 1 premieres on Shudder and AMC+, six episodes deep. It becomes the most-watched Shudder title on AMC+ ever and Shudder’s biggest November launch to date, and it fuels record subscriber growth and a whole lot of chatter online.
- November 2025: Season 2 arrives and basically repeats that success story.
- Before the season 2 finale: Shudder already renews The Creep Tapes for season 3, slated for 2026.
- Today (Dec 19, 2025): The season 2 finale drops, and Duplass confirms season 3 is not just greenlit, it’s filming.
What Duplass said
Replying to a fan who mentioned they were watching the season 2 finale, Duplass kept it simple:
"We have already shot two episodes of season 3."
So what is this show, exactly?
The Creep Tapes takes the found-footage DNA from the films and stretches it into an anthology-style collection pulled from a secret stash of tapes. The throughline: a reclusive, painfully awkward serial killer who lures freelance videographers with a paid gig to document his life. Once the camera starts rolling, his true intentions bleed through, the behavior gets weirder, and the poor souls behind the lens realize they did not book a harmless day rate.
Season 2 dives back into that vault and keeps peeling layers off this guy’s very strange psyche.
Who is making it
The series comes from Duplass Brothers Productions and Shudder. Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice created and write the show, and Brice directs every single episode. They serve as executive producers alongside Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass, and Chris Donlon, with Shuli Harel as co-executive producer.
Bottom line: season 3 was already ordered for 2026, and now we know at least two episodes are in the can. If you like this brand of unnerving, awkward horror, the wait for more just got a lot easier.
