‘Nightbreed’ TV Series Is Coming to SyFy

According to the website Deadline, Clive Barker and Morgan Creek are bringing a TV series reboot of the classic movie Nightbreed to the SyFy channel. The show is being written by Josh Stolberg who wrote Jigsaw and Piranha. His story sounds like a direct sequel to the movie in the synopsis I’ve attached below:

From Deadline:

Nightbreed explores race relations in America, only the races are Humans and Monsters. It follows a group of underground half-human/half-monsters seeking to find a new refuge and home after their original hiding place is destroyed. Leading these efforts is a recently turned reluctant hero who not only is adjusting to his new supernatural status but also is dealing with the grief and mystery surrounding the death of his fiancée. Will this group band together despite being hunted and persecuted by humans who find their “otherness” to be frightening?

The show will be executive produced by James G. Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall for Morgan Creek and Barker and Mark Miller via Seraphim FIlms. Clive Barker had this to say about the series,“This story has been near to my heart for many years,” Barker said. “I’m beyond thrilled that SyFy and UCP are taking this journey with us, and I cannot wait to see it brought to life on the screen.”

I think a Nightbreed TV series is long over due. It also fits in perfectly in today’s disturbing, political climate so I can see it finding an audience for people that feel alienated from the mainstream populace. And personally, I think it’s time for the world to experience some Clive Barker stories for a change. I’m getting burned out with most of what Hollywood is churning out.

We’ll keep you posted as more news is released.
