A high school student by day and tour guide for local haunts by night, Soleil is an outsider by choice. So when she has to suffer detention with a few of her school peers cleaning up the local cemetery, she doesn't immediately bond with Missy (Grace Lu), Pat (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Stanley (Chester Rushing) and Maybe (Tim Johnson Jr.)./p pBut a bit of literal blood spilled and bad timing means the group has to work together tofight the ancient resurrected demon spirit, Belial (Jacques Colimon).To do so, each incredulous teen is bestowed with the individual loa (or Voodoo spirits) of their ancestors. Through the first season, the teens struggled with the impact of their new powers and having to work together for a common cause. But they finally got there, just in time for Belial to level up his attack on the Fright Krewe./p h2What monsters are coming in Season 2 of emFright Krewe/em?/h2 div data-embed-button="media" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.embed" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="cba6d86e-f3c5-4095-a81e-bcf21fbc0f8c" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"div class="media__image" style="max-width:862px" div class="media__image-wrapper" div div img loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" src="https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_862/public/2024/03/fright_krewe_s2ep05_missy.jpg" width="862" height="575" alt="Missy stands on a burnin log in lava in Fright Krewe Season 2 Episode 5." typeof="foaf:Image" /div /div /div div class="media__metadata" div class="media__metadata-wrapper" span class="media__caption" Missy appears in Fright Krewe Season 2 Episode 5. /span span class="media__credit"Photo: DreamWorks Animation/Peacock /span /div /div /div /div pAs the trailer reveals, Belial summons a litany of new adversaries for the teens to stop. But Krewe's got some of their own creature allies, from rougrarous and vampires, to help this time around. Asked about curating their creatures for the second season, Frey explained, "When we first started, we actually made a long list of various monsters and certainly tried to focus on New Orleans and voodoo specific spirits and monsters because there are a whole bunch of them specific to the culture of New Orleans and greater Louisiana. If anything, there were more options and we could have ever needed."/p pRoth continued that they provided some options to the series showrunners,a href="https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/fright-krewe-joanna-lewis-and-kristine-songco-interview"Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco/a, who then wove them into the show mythology, or created something unique to fit. "They really did a great job in weaving it together so that it becomes this 10-part story that you're watching. You want to see what the [next] monster is and how they're going to solve it. But the macro problem is always getting scarier and scarier and more interesting."/p div data-embed-button="media" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.embed" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="8834d273-598b-46e5-9c2a-7f36ec4a3002" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"div class="media__image" style="max-width:862px" div class="media__image-wrapper" div div img loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" src="https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_862/public/2024/03/fright_krewe_s2ep03_reveller.jpg" width="862" height="575" alt="Reveller laughs in their jester costume in Fright Krewe Season 2 Episode 3." typeof="foaf:Image" /div /div /div div class="media__metadata" div class="media__metadata-wrapper" span class="media__caption" Reveller appears in Fright Krewe Season 2 Episode 3. /span span class="media__credit"Photo: DreamWorks Animation/Peacock /span /div /div /div /div pstrongRELATED:a href="https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/megamind-vs-doom-syndicate-ending-explained-interview"New Megamind Sequel Series Creators on Evolution of the Blue-Craniumed Villain-Turned-Hero/a/strong/p pOutside of the creatures, Roth said the Krewe's dynamic will also include a lot of unexpected twists. "The friendships are going to change," he teased. "And what happens when Soleil loses their powers? Who can you trust and who do you tell? And how do you deal with a town when they know all these things that are going on now, and the secret's out a little bit?"/p pHaving gotten the seal of approval from their own kids, both Frey and Roth said they hope they get even more eyes on emFright Krewe/em this season so that means they can tell more seasons of adventures. "From my point of view, I can't imagine a better version of the original show Eli and I sort of conceived and wrote together being made and broadcast. It's killer," he enthused./p pRoth concurred. "It's great when kids can get scared but also know that it's gonna be okay because you're hanging out with the Fright Crewe. It's gonna scare you but it's not gonna traumatize you," he smiled./p pstrongemWatch a href="https://www.peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/fright-krewe/5053302979915048112"Season 1 of Fright Krewe/a now on Peacock./em/strong/p
