No filmmakers or story details have been revealed about the revival.
Amazon's acquisition of MGM resulted in Amazon Studios being able to revive a number of beloved properties, with Variety confirming today that the studio is officially moving forward with a TV series revival of Poltergeist. There are currently no confirmed filmmakers attached to the project, nor are there any details about the series' plot, though Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey are on board to serve as executive producers.
The 1982 film earned two direct sequels, while Showtime developed the TV series Poltergeist: The Legacy in the '90s, which earned four seasons. That series focused on the investigators who came to the aid of families in need. In 2015, Gil Kenan helped an official big-screen reboot of the concept. "It didn't work out because it was before the internet and we had a communication breakdown," King previously shared with Entertainment Weekly."I was on a ship going across the Atlantic to England."
