It’s been 5 years since the last Insidious came out, but since Insidious: Chapter 3 and Insidious: The Last Key are prequels to Insidious: Chapter 1, we definitely need a refresher for all things fiery faces and red doors. All four films have been written by Leigh Wannel, and the first two chapters which we will be concentrating a little more on in this article were directed by James Wan. Chapters 1 & 2 follow the Lambert family that includes Josh, the father (Patrick Wilson), Renai, the mother (Rose Byrne) and three kids Dalton (Ty Simpkins), Foster (Andrew Astor) and infant baby girl Kali (Madison Bowie). Dalton goes into The Further (which we’ll discuss in a minute) because he’s gifted like his father to travel the dark side of the world (not the web). Okay, that’s a bit dramatic, but basically, he can astral project himself and soul travel amongst the dead in some middle space.

Toward the end of March Amazon Studios gave Chris Carter's "The After" a series order, but we didn't know when it would debut or how many episodes it would have in its first season. Well, we still don't quite know the former, but we do have some info on the latter...

So far Amazon has slotted "The X-Files" creator's new project for eight episodes, but if Carter has his way, it'll run for at least 99. As he told reporters during Amazon's summer Television Critics Association press tour session, he based the mystery-focused "The After" on Dante's Inferno.

The Divine Comedy, which is comprised of Inferno plus Purgatorio and Paradiso, has 99 cantos in its story (along with an introduction). "I'm using that as my model," Carter revealed.

Other than "early 2015," Amazon hasn't announced the show's exact release date, but per THR, it's not following the "binge" model of all episodes hitting at once.

This news came out about a week ago and somehow slipped under our radar, but today we're remedying that situation! Remember hearing about the new Chris Carter pilot, "The After," which Amazon posted for viewer feedback? Well, here's an update...

Per Variety, Amazon has given "The After" a series order along with "Bosch," a cop drama that follows Titus Welliver as he pursues the killer of a 13-year-old boy.

Having seen "The After," we can say that this is great news indeed! Finally we'll be able to find out what happens next! In case you haven't watched it yet, visit the Amazon Pilot Season Page.

No word on how many episodes there'll be or when these shows might debut, but we'll keep you posted.
