M. Night Shyamalan is bringing a new Tales from the Crypt series to TNT

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

For those of you who enjoyed M. Night’s latest directorial effort, THE VISIT, then you may get a kick out of the following news: Shyamalan will be re-booting Tales from the Crypt for TNT. The reboot will launch this Fall in a 2-hour weekly block. Shyamalan will be producing each episode, but no word yet on whether or not the man will lend his talents behind the camera. If I was a betting man, I’d say he’d be heavily involved in the pilot.

The days of SIXTH SENSE/UNBREAKABLE/SIGNS Shyamalan are long gone, but I’d say the man still knows how to put together an entertaining movie. Granted, it’s oftentimes unintentionally funny, but that’s better than boring. With that in mind, I’d say he’s a pretty good choice to head up Tales from the Crypt. Having grown up with the HBO iteration, I don’t feel too hot about the reboot heading to TNT, but I’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Shyamalan’s Tales from the Crypt will hit TNT this Fall.
