Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced that it has renewed its hit original series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs for a fifth season to air in 2023 with additional specials that will premiere later this year to be announced. The show will conclude its fourth season on July 1, 2022, with each new episode this season to date trending in the Top 5 nationally on Twitter every Friday night.

“Thanks to the Shudder team for giving us the chance to hang out another year with the greatest fans in media. I’m constantly amazed by their affection and I’m constantly learning from them,” said Joe Bob Briggs.

“We're delighted to bring Joe Bob, Darcy and the rest of The Last Drive-In Team back for another season of crazy movies, live tweeting, and the most entertaining commentary on TV,” said Shudder General Manager Craig Engler. “We'll also have more special guests and themed holiday episodes, because as Joe Bob says, the drive-in never dies.”

On The Last Drive-In, Briggs, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic hosts eclectic horror movie double features, talking about their merits, histories and significance to genre cinema. The fourth season which concludes on July 1, 2022, features new, in-depth interviews with special guests Charles Band, Larry Fessenden, and The Adams Family, among others. Shudder and Briggs first teamed up in July 2018, for the 24-hour marathon intended to be Briggs’ final farewell to televised movie hosting. After the special turned out to be an unprecedented hit, Shudder brought The Last Drive-In back as a weekly series and for multiple holiday specials.

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings.
