Superstition is an American mystery-drama television series that was commissioned by Syfy with a 12-episode direct-to-series order in December 2016.[1] The show premiered on October 20, 2017,[2] with the series' first season concluding on January 18, 2018. On June 6, 2018, the series was cancelled after one season.[3]

Plot

[edit]

The episodes revolve around the Hastings family who owns and directs a funeral home and the cemetery in the sleepy town of La Rochelle, Georgia. The basement of the family home provides space for the city morgue as well where Tilly, the medical examiner, works. Having long been hunters of the supernatural, the Hastings and Tilly make sure that Infernals don't wreak havoc among the human populace.

Things start to unravel when Friday the 13th arrives, with the appearance of the Hastings' oldest son who left the family sixteen years ago. Supernatural forces begin descending upon the town, with Calvin and his family doing their best to protect everyone.
