Zachary Quinto Lands Lead Role in Horror Series “NOS4A2”

Zachary Quinto played a couple of scary characters in his day, but he’s just started preparing for his creepiest role to date. The Star Trek actor has just been cast as the lead in AMC horror series NOS4A2.

If you’re having a hard time decoding this weird series of letter and numbers, let’s just say Quinto’s new project is pronounced ‘Nosferatu’, but shares little connection with this cult horror film.

NOS4A2 actually takes place in a magical place called Christmasland, where every day is Christmas and unhappiness is against the law. Sounds jolly until you find out this happy-go-lucky realm was created by Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children.

The upcoming horror series is expected to premiere in 2019. It’s based on the novel of the same name by Joe Hill and it will be created by Jami O’Brien, who can’t wait to bring it to life on the small screen. His previous credits include Fear the Walking Dead and Hell On Wheels.

“As a huge fan of Joe Hill’s rich, imaginative, and exciting book, I am over the moon to be working with such a phenomenal cast and creative team on this special project,” said O’Brien.
