It premiered on Netflix on October 12, 2018. The show consists of six episodes and was produced by Netflix, Wilshire studios and The Henson Alternative, an arm of The Jim Henson Company.[1] The series was not renewed for a second season.[2] PremiseThe show centers around Christine McConnell, an artist and baker who lives in a mansion full of monsters and ghosts. Accompanied by Rose, Rankle, and Edgar, McConnell loves to create morbid looking desserts like gingerbread haunted houses, caramel spiders and bones made of pretzel sticks, peanut butter and white chocolate. A combination of a DIY show and scripted reality, the show deals with annoying neighbors, relatives, and what to wear on a first date with someone you just met at the cemetery. Characters
ProductionNetflix had expressed interest in a goth-inspired series for a long time.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} McConnell, who already had a large following on Reddit and Instagram, pitched the show to Netflix and Brian Henson.[4] Following the success of Julie's Greenroom, which had been released in early 2017, Netflix expressly wanted the Jim Henson company to produce the show. The company claimed that it was coordinating many other projects, however, Henson Alternative picked up the show. Filming began in early 2017, and the series was released on October 12th, 2018.[5] McConnell was principally responsible for editing and post-production. She shot and edited many of the promotional posters herself,[6] and recorded her own voiceovers for the baking segments of each episode.
