Nick Antosca, who created the series, explained that the monster was created from his own nightmare. The producers decided to use a costume rather than special effects to create the gruesome look. The character was originally intended to appear in Hannibal, for which Nick Antosca was a scriptwriter but SyFy then decided to start working on Channel Zero.
Channel Zero, a horror anthologyin the same vein as American Horror Story, has been airing for 4 seasons now, from 2016-2018. The plot lines are all inspired by creepypastas, horror-related stories which have been circulating around the internet.

The season follows one man's obsession with a mysterious children's TV program from the 1980s. Other story lines from later seasons have included a house of horrors which might not be what it seems, a city affected by disappearances, and a mysterious door in a house.
