Miramax Television in October signed a deal with Trancas to develop and co-produce a Halloween TV series, which is envisioned to potentially launch a cinematic universe spanning film and television. Miramax’s Marc Helwig has given Deadline an update on the series which is going back to the Halloween franchise’s origins:
"The foundation of (the show) is the original film, the John Carpenter movie, the characters of that film, and perhaps a group of characters that we haven’t really focused on that much in recent film versions or even in a number of them."
"It’s a creative reset completely and going back to the original film, as opposed to spinning out of any of the more recent film adaptations. It’s a big world, so I don’t think that is an opportunity to go off the back of that."
"We're on a fast track, it’s a big priority for us. We've had lots of exciting conversations in recent months with a number of really talented people, and I think we’ll have a pretty good idea of what we’re going to be doing very soon. We’re hoping to lock down the creative team very soon."
It looks like the first season is just going to be a reboot of the first film. Which sounds boring we already have the first film why the fuck remake it. I wish they would just keep Michael Myers and create a whole new mythology with a new story and new characters instead of rehashing the same shit all over again.
