Truly, one of the most refreshing shows to hit the airwaves in 2023, was the Apple TV+ series, Curses! Simply because it was that rare family entertainment show, that dared go where few do. Specifically, into the realm of scares. For this bold series, took the time to inject elements of horror into a grand and sweeping story, and well… it helped to create a compelling story that allowed for young viewers to face fear and learn how horror can strengthen their psyche. And well, this show handled such matters so well, and drew in such a curious audience, that it was granted a second season.
One that we haven’t heard a whole bunch about, but that changed earlier today. For Apple TV+ was kind enough to release all kinds of details regarding season two, and even it released a full trailer for it. One that immediately informs the viewer that season two will be bigger and bolder in scope, complete with higher stakes for the family’s mission, and it will even feature the vocal talents of a true horror legend. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Because Apple TV+ was kind enough to share that trailer with us, so we can share it with you, and all the details available on season two of the show… so we can properly count down to the October 4th premiere date of season two of Curses! ‘Today, Apple TV+ today released the trailer for season two of the thrilling and spooky adventure series for kids from DreamWorks Animation, “CURSES!,” premiering globally on Friday, October 4.
