Episodes
Production
Development
In 2014, Warner Bros. announced plans to produce a web series based on the Critters films.[2] Producer Peter Girardi at Warner Bros. Digital reached out to writer-director Jordan Rubin to see if he was interested in the project. Rubin put together a pitch for the series with his writing partners, Jon and Al Kaplan, and the project was greenlit.[3]
Filming
Principal photography for the series reportedly began during the last week of May 2018 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[4] Filming wrapped in July.[5]
Release
Shudder acquired the series from Warner Bros. Television in February 2019.[1][6] All eight ten-minute episodes premiered on Shudder on March 21.
Reception
The series received mixed reviews. Bloody Disgusting gave the series one-and-a-half skulls, declaring the "CG effects are so Syfy-level bad that they wouldn’t have even passed muster back in the ’90s" and the episodes "absolutely loaded with that bargain basement effects work" and "lowbrow humor".[7] JoBlo gave the series a 6 out of 10, saying that "there's going to be a split reaction to A New Binge. I don't think the story crafted by Rubin and his co-writers Al Kaplan and Jon Kaplan is one that anybody was expecting to see told in this franchise". Ultimately, the review felt it was "a very innocuous piece of entertainment".[8]
