Dead of Summer

Set in the late 1980s, school is out for the summer, and a sun-drenched season of firsts beckons the counselors at Camp Clearwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses – and first kills. Clearwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn.

Directed by Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Ian B. Goldberg, Dead of Summer leans on a strong ensemble — Elizabeth Lail, Ronen Rubinstein, Zelda Williams — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
