For the last several years, there has regularly been chatter of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed getting a TV series – and now, that chatter is becoming a reality!

Revealed by Barker himself in an interview with ComingSoon, Trick ‘r Treat and Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ Michael Dougherty is to develop and direct a Nightbreed series. Barker himself is currently putting together the outline for the show.

As horror icon Barker enthused, “It’s exciting, after 30 years, to go back to these characters and find out who’s still speaking to me, who wants their story told. My tongue isn’t in my cheek when I say that, as when I start a piece it’s listening. The writing is a piece of listening. I’ve always said I was a journalist and what I was reporting on was the space between my ears.”

Based on his Cabal novella, Clive Barker wrote and directed 1990’s Nightbreed movie. In that tale, troubled Aaron Boone finds himself drawn to a strange, mythical place called Midian. While this landscape is full of friendly monsters hiding from humanity, a serial killer looms large.

Expect more on this Nightbreed TV offering as we get it.
