Plot

In 1978, Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside, but when horrors from their towns shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it's too late.[2]

Release

The first film of the trilogy was scheduled to be released in June 2020,[3] but it was pulled from the schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] In April 2020, Chernin Entertainment ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and made a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix.[5]

On August 11, 2020, it was reported that Netflix had acquired the trilogy for a mid 2021 release date with the original strategy of releasing one film per month.[1][4]
