The Tobe Hooper-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced 1982 horror classic has already spawned two sequels and a remake.
This actually makes perfect sense, considering Poltergeist is about ghosts that gain access to a suburban family via their TV: the 1982 Steven Spielberg-produced and co-written horror classic, which spawned two sequels of varying quality and a tepid 2015 remake, may be getting a new series. Variety had the scoop, reporting Amazon MGM Studios is in “early development” on the project.
The trade also reminds us that this isn’t the first time Poltergeist has been adapted for TV, though it’s a safe bet to say few remember Poltergeist: The Legacy despite its four-season, late-1990s run on Showtime and what was then called the Sci-Fi Channel. Amazon paid $9 billion for MGM Studios—the home of James Bond and Legally Blonde—back in 2021, so it makes sense to be digging into the IP to find more material.
