The Creep franchise will continue, along with potentially more Tubby Time, with the announcement coming courtesy of a mysterious video from Mark Duplass on TikTok today.
A new installment in the Creep franchise is “coming soon,” the video teases, suggesting that Creep 3 is finally on the way. Or perhaps it’s something else, like a Creep television series?
UPDATE – 6/4/24 – 4pm EST: The mysterious project teased by Duplass has been revealed to be “The Creep Tapes,” a television series expansion of the Creep film franchise.
Indiewire reports, “The series, co-created by Duplass and Creep director Patrick Brice (who also directed every episode), is currently being shopped to buyers.”
The site also notes that production on “The Creep Tapes” has wrapped in secret.
“The series is based on a collection of video tapes in the secret vault of the world’s deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer, who hires his victims to film him for the day under false pretenses,” Duplass said in a statement.
“Each episode exposes a new victim from one of the fabled ‘Creep Tapes.’”

The franchise centers on Duplass’ character, a total creep whose name is ever-changing but whose bizarre, murderous behavior is always documented in a found footage style.
The original found footage movie in 2014 was followed by a sequel in 2017.
