John Carpenter Developing 4 TV Series That Will Push the Boundaries of Horror
If you're a fan of the films of John Carpenter, you’ll be happy to hear that the filmmaker will be making a serious move into the TV arena. The news comes Carpenter’s wife, Sandy King Carpenter, who recently was a guest on the horror podcast Killer POV.
During the interview, she says that there are four series already ready to go. She provides the following information:
“Right now, there’s four series waiting to go to network. As far as I’m concerned, we’ll do all of them. I mean, they’re great, and they’re different from anything that’s out there, and they again push the boundaries of what’s horror. [John] would be directing pilots and we would be executive producing them. There’s sci-fi, there’s horror, there’s one that I guess would be [a] sci fi-horror futuristic kind of thing. They’re all across the board. I think they’ll fulfill what people expect out of him by also being unpredictable.”
There’s no information on what these series will entail or what networks are looking at them, but it certainly sounds exciting! I’m a big fan of Carpenter’s earlier work, and it would be great to see what he is planning for TV. Hopefully, at least one or two of them see the light of day.
