The series has received acclaim for its story, directing, and the performances of the cast (particularly Perrineau). In April 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on April 23, 2023, on the rebranded MGM+. In June 2023, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on September 22, 2024. In November 2024, the series was renewed for a fourth season.
The series is set in a nightmarish town in the United States that traps those who enter. The unwilling residents strive to stay alive while plagued by terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest as they search for secrets hidden within the town and beyond in the hope of finding a way out.
The series centers around Boyd Stevens (Perrineau), the self-appointed sheriff and de-facto mayor, and the Matthews family, new arrivals to the town who soon discover that they are trapped along with the other existing residents, and must work together to stay alive and find a way to escape.
