Over 30 years after the original Critters arrived in theaters, the four-film franchise, which has been lying dormant since 1992, is now getting… its own TV series?!

In an exciting bit of news that comes totally out of left field, Variety reports today that Verizon’s go90 has ordered “Critters: A New Binge” from Blue Ribbon Content, the Warner Bros. Television Group’s digital studio. The series is produced by Abominable Pictures in association with Blue Ribbon Content for Verizon.

The plot for the series is as follows…

“The critters return to Earth in search of one of their kin, who was left behind years ago during an earlier mission. They land in Burbank, Calif., where they wreak havoc on a group of high schoolers and their families.”

The creative team behind Zombeavers, Jordan Rubin, Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan, will write and executive produce, with Rubin also directing.

Rupert Harvey and Barry Opper, from the original film franchise, produce.

I'd like to check this one out, any updates on it?

Haven't read/heard anything new. Will definitely post if anything new comes out about it!

Love the Critters franchise.

There were a few horror series being planned over the years that, for one reason or another, never happened:

TNT's Tales from the Crypt
Hellraiser series
Locke & Key (original) and then Hulu scrapped the new plans


I read reports that they are now working on a Purge series.

And there's supposed a Killer Klowns From Outer Space series in the works.

Always enjoyed the Critters series. They'll have to be creative (not holding my breath) to keep an ongoing series fresh, though. It can't just be "humans vs. Crites" every week and the "group of high schoolers" part makes me a little nervous. I dunno, I guess I just grow weary of always having teenagers as the main characters in these things...

And reading more into it, The New Binge will be animated, that doesn't bode well.
I'm confused, there's 2 TV series listed on IMDB- one just called Critters, and then the animated one titled Critters: The New Binge. Both by the same production company, I don't know if it's just a goof, or will there be a live action one?
So far, none of the guys from Zombeavers, or Rupert Harvey and Barry Opper from the original franchise are listed in the credits.
