Roth, who directed such horror films as Cabin Feverand Hostel and starred in Inglourious Basterds, will serve as director and executive producer of the 13-episode season. "I've been waiting for years to dive into television," he said in a statement. "Brian McGreevy's novel blew me away, and the material lends itself perfectly to long format storytelling.  Hemlock Grove is smart, dark, complex, and at times terrifying."
Hemlock Grove is the third original series to join Netlix's roster. The first, Lilyhammer, premiered in February, and House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey, is aiming for an end-the-year start.
