Plot Synopsis

From Executive Producers Gale Anne Hurd, Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens, Brett-Patrick Jenkins, Glen Morgan, Jon Halperin and Mark Mannucci, LORE is a horror anthology series that's based on the podcast of the same name. By combining documentary footage, narration, historical mixed media, and cinematic scenes, this series presents the frightening and often disturbing tales based on real people and events that have led to modern-day myths and legend, such as vampires, changelings, werewolves, seances and possessed dolls. LORE features fan-favorite episodes from the podcast, including the tale of a boy given a doll that seems to have a sinister life of its own; a family whose home appears to be inhabited by a spirit from the other side; and a German village that hunts for a murderous creature. On Friday, October 13, 2017 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Amazon released the six-episode first season of LORE.

The six-episode second season of LORE premiered on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT on Amazon. Ranging from the Middle Ages to the Age of Rockets, Season 2 explores the motivations of the damned and the bloody and far-reaching aftermath of that damnation. In the season debut, "Burke and Hare: In the Name of Science," two shunned Irish immigrants in Scotland start off as grave robbers to sell the dead to doctors, but decide that creating their own inventory is much easier, and become the most prolific mass-murdering duo in history. The new season stars Josh Bowman, Doug Bradley, Thomas Kretschmann, Paula Malcomson, Maimie McCoy, Jurgen Prochnow, Emmett Scanlan and Alicia Witt. Season 2 episodes are:

Stars Jurgen Prochnow, Thomas Kretschmann and Susanne Wuest
