And the scares keep on comin'!

Hemlock Grove has been renewed for a second season, Netflix announced on Wednesday. The gothic horror thriller, which starred Landon Liboiron and Bill Skarsgård as two supernatural teens, a werewolf and a vampire, who team up to solve a string of murders in a small Pennsylvania town, debuted on Netflix in April and users were able to watch the entire 10-episode first season all at once, smiliar to its roll-out of the revival of Arrested Development and Kevin Spacey's House of Cards.

It was also announced that Charles H. "Chic" Eglee, who has served as an executive producer on hits such as The Walking Dead and Dexter, will join the series as an executive producer and showrunner.

Hemlock Grove's sophomore season will go into production later this year, with the streaming video site looking to debut the 10 episodes in 2014.

"The worldwide fan response to ‘Hemlock Grove' was phenomenal," executive producer Eli Roth said in a statement. "Netflix members loved the potent combination of sexy monsters, mystery, and the dark family soap opera that ended with a huge twist, leaving audiences worldwide totally shocked. Season one was just a warm up for what we have in store for season two. Get ready to be scared in ways you never expected."

Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix, added, "In its first season, Eli, Brian, Lee and the team did an incredible job of introducing viewers to a unique world of memorable characters. Chic's addition to the show, and his experience on such fan favorites as The Shield, The Walking Dead and Dexter, will heighten the intensity of the mystery that grips Hemlock Grove."
