David Dastmalchian is all set to star in an upcoming horror TV show, which comes off as the perfect follow-up to his highly acclaimed two-year-old horror hit.
In an acting career spanning over two decades, David Dastmalchian has been a part of several incredible movies and TV shows, like Murderbot, Blade Runner 2049, Dune, and The Suicide Squad, among others. The actor is also known for his performances in acclaimed horror flicks like The Boogeyman, Rosario, and The Last Voyage of the Dementer.
Two years ago, Dastmalchian also served as the lead for a brilliant found footage horror movie that earned almost unanimous acclaim from viewers and critics. He will now be returning to the horror genre with an upcoming TV show, which will likely remind many viewers of his two-year-old found footage horror hit.
David Dastmalchian has been confirmed as one of the new cast members in The Creep Tapes season 2. While the exact details of his role remain unknown, the show’s latest trailer suggests that he will have a wildly exciting part. In the trailer, Dastmalchian seems to portray a copycat version of the central serial killer, Peachfuzz.

Dastmalchian’s appearance in a horror show or movie is often enough to make it significantly better. However, what makes his casting in the series even more exciting is that The Creep Tapes is the first major found footage horror project since Late Night With the Devil. The film earned rave reviews from viewers and critics after its release in 2023 and is still touted as one of the best found footage flicks of all time.
Mark Duplass’ Creep movies are also considered brilliant additions to the horror subgenre. With his casting in the Creep TV series, Dastmalchian is officially tied to two major found footage franchises, cementing his status as one of the most versatile and talented performers in the horror genre.
Dastmalchian’s Casting Means Two Horror Legends Will Share The Screen In Creep Tapes Season 2
As many sequences in The Creep Tapes season 2’s trailer confirm, two of the most incredible actors, David Dastmalchian and Mark Duplass, of our time will share the screen in the series. They will play different versions of the same character, and it would be interesting to see how Dastmalchian will capture Peachfuzz’s hilariously terrifying gimmicks and mannerisms.
The Creep Tapes season 2 is scheduled to be released on Shudder on November 14, 2025.
Horror collaborations like these are rare, so it is incredible that The Creep Tapes season 2 has managed to pull off something of this scale by getting David Dastmalchian on board. While only time will tell whether the horror show’s second installment will be better than its predecessor, it seems to have found the perfect means to get viewers hyped for its release.
