Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Robert McCammon's novel Stinger, though heavily streamlined from the book's sprawling alien-war epic to this intimate eight-episode pressure cooker.
Canceled after one season despite decent reviews — the latest victim of streaming's tolerance for horror that builds slowly rather than exploding immediately. The Georgia farmland setting was chosen specifically to evoke Deliverance and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's rural American unease.
