Trapped Updates

Our next episode, “Trapped”, a spin-off minisode starring Katrina Bryan, Joanna Harte and Victoria Gibson, is currently in post production.

The episode has now been colour graded and the score and sound effects are being completed. Once this is done we will be sending a private link to our backers before making up DVDs and blu-rays for those who supported our Kickstarter campaign. Then a date will be set for the episode to be released to the public.

We will be holding a red carpet event in Glasgow in August where all of our episodes will be screened for our cast and crew, plus invited guests. Tickets will be made available shortly so please keep an eye on our social media pages and official website for details.

With episode 9, our series 1 finale, now complete and being edited, we would like to thank every single backer and supporter who has helped made series 1 possible.

We are currently accepting spec scripts from potential series 2 writers and we hope to start funding our 6-part series early next year to film in Spring/Summer 2018.

Thank you again for all of your support and love from everybody at Cops and Monsters.
