‘Servant’ Season 2 Teaser Trailer: M. Night Shyamalan Returns For New Creepy Frights In January

M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological horror series for AppleTV “Servant” was a curious affair, in that, it ended with one of his trademark twists, and a creepy ellipsis, almost as if he took a movie idea of his and turned it into a limited series. “Servant” had a perfectly chilling ending, but behold, well, now it’s a series and the story continues (which is part of the neverending-story quality of television, but that’s a rant for another time).

Where’s Jericho now? To back things up, “Servant” is an intriguing and fascinating tale of trauma.  The series is about a married couple, Dorothy and Sean Turner, (Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell), who have endured a great tragedy, the untimely death of their newborn son Jericho. Wracked with grief to the point of being in an unfunctional catatonic state, the surrounding family, including Julian Pearce, Dorothy’s brother, (Rupert Grint), resort to an experimental procedure: a fake “reborn doll” that allows Dorothy to cope with her grief and eventually move on. But things get super creepy, f*cked up, and go too far, when the couple actually hire a mysterious nanny (Nell Tiger Free from Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Too Old To Die Young”) to take care of the doll as if it’s a real baby. Leanne’s arrival brings about strange and frightening occurrences for the couple, and things get very weird.

Can “Servant” sustain what was a perfectly contained story, though to be fair, one with a gigantic cliffhanger at the end too, so perhaps a second season was inevitable. Time will tell. “Servant” is back in the new year. Watch the first teaser trailer below.
