Last October Miramax gained control of the television rights for the Halloween franchise to go alongside the film rights that they already controlled. Now, in an interview with Deadline, Miramax’s Marc Helwig has said that the Halloween TV series will be a creative reset.
The foundation of it 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.

No creative team is in place yet but Miramax know what direction that they want to take the show in.
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.

No release date for the series has been announced.

Amazing how the powers that be just can’t seem to get enough of Halloween.
