It’s been a long road getting to the screen, but TNT’s The Alienist has finally descended. The Cary Fukunaga-produced murder-mystery adapted from Caleb Carr’s international bestseller has arrived, touting a star-studded cast.

We’re rightfully wary of a TV version of Bong Joon-Ho’s Snowpiercer, but it may be time to get on board. Not only will Hamilton alum Daveed Diggs lead the new series, but none other than Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson will take the controls.

Last we heard, TNT’s M. Night Shyamalan reboot of Tales From the Crypt ran into legal challenges, so we’d know if they’d come far enough for a trailer, right? There’s a mystery afoot in these promos leaked to the web, which feature Shyamalan actively discussing the project, but may otherwise be works of fiction.

We haven’t heard much about M. Night Shyamalan’s proposed TNT reinvention of Tales From the Crypt in some time, and there might be good reason. According to reports, budget and rights complications have thrown a wrench into production, which could affect a 2017 premiere date, if not cancel the series outright.

We’re still not sold on the idea of director Bong Joon-Ho‘’s iconic Snowpiercer joining the ranks of movies remade as TV series, even with Joon-Ho’s involvement, but the train is officially leaving the station. TNT has given out an official pilot order to an adaptation of the 2013 South Korean sci-fi, with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles scribe Josh Friedman at the controls.

Let TV’s love of vampires or movie reboots never cease! Up next on the assembly line is TNT’s rendition of cult horror favorite Let the Right One In, albeit one sure to raise questions of keeping child actors realistically unaged.

Apart from a world far enough in shock to dismiss any thought of TV, TNT had the good sense to reschedule its third season premiere of naval drama The Last Ship this past Sunday, owing to violent content tragically reminiscent of the Orlando attack. Now, the network has confirmed a new date for the two-hour premiere, moving the debut of Murder in the First as well.

It’s oft been said of erstwhile breakout director M. Night Shyamalan that the filmmaker had run out of ideas, but his new TNT Tales From the Crypt may never have that problem. The new series has partnered with Wattpad to crowdsource stories and horror trends, even recruiting writers directly to work on the series.

If ever you thought that TNT’s redux of Tales From the Crypt under one-time suspense master M. Night Shyamalan was only a nightmare, have we got a twist for you. Not only has TNT greenlit the new Tales From the Crypt to series, well also have a “newly reinvented” Crypt Keeper to tell them.

We first learned back in January that TNT had in mind to resurrect the classic Tales From the Crypt with M. Night Shyamalan curating new horror stories, though details were few and far between. Now, the Sixth Sense director at least confirms that the classic “Crypt Keeper” character will return, though perhaps not as we remember.
