Joe Bob Briggs Returns with a Bang
Shudder, the premium streaming service for horror and thriller content, has recently announced its decision to renew “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs” for a sixth season. The news has sparked much excitement among fans. The seasoned host and widely respected drive-in movie critic, Joe Bob Briggs, will continue to charm viewers with his unique style, making him an ever-present figure on the streaming service.
A New Viewing Experience
Previous seasons saw Joe Bob hosting weekly double features. However, the sixth season will deviate from this norm. This time, episodes will air every other Friday night, while Joe Bob will introduce new elements, termed as “single titles and surprises”. This shift in programming strategy is set to spread the action over a more extended period, with the season reportedly continuing well into September.
Launch of Season 6
This season of blood, beasts, and breasts kicked off impressively with a special titled “A Tribute to Roger Corman”, which aired last Friday. The season is expected to truly get into gear on March 29th. Ahead of this much-anticipated broadcast, JoBlo’s Jessica Dwyer managed to score an exclusive interview with Joe Bob Briggs, offering fans a deeper insight into what’s in store.
The Georgia Move
In another shuffling, the production location of Joe Bob’s Last Drive-in has been moved to the prolific Senoia studios in Georgia. This location, famously associated with the Walking Dead series, provides Joe Bob with access to a backlot for the very first time.
In his quirky style, Joe Bob commemorated this announcement by stating, “As everyone knows, you should never invite me into your home, because I always show up. Shudder has graciously invited me to stick around for a sixth year, and I intend to use that kindness to haunt your phones, laptops, and big-screen TVs.”
Shudder’s Confidence in Joe Bob
Courtney Thomasma, from parent company AMC Networks, expressed her delight in welcoming Joe Bob, Darcy, and the rest of The Last Drive-In Team back for their largest season yet.
