Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Halloween franchise could potentially expand even more thanks to a new deal. The long-running movie franchise kicked off in 1978 with John Carpenter's Halloween, which followed babysitter Laurie Strode and her friends being stalked by escaped serial killer Michael Myers . The franchise has since expanded to include 12 sequels in various continuities, with the most recent title being 2022's Halloween Ends.
Per Deadline, the television rights to the Halloween franchise have been acquired by Miramax after being put on the market by Trancas International Films. This deal includes the development and co-production of a Halloween television show with a first-look agreement for other international shows.
Where the Halloween Franchise Could Go From Here One thing that could complicate the future of the Halloween franchise is the Halloween Ends ending. While the movie followed both Michael Myers and a potential new killer Corey Cunningham, both were dead by the time the movie ended. In fact, the movie made a point to have Laurie Strode put Michael's body into an industrial shredder, implying that the movie is the true ending to the long-term showdown between the iconic killer and final girl.
The Halloween movies have continued beyond seemingly conclusive endings before, however. For instance, Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later featured Laurie beheading Michael, only for the sequel Halloween: Resurrection to reveal that she only thought she was beheading Michael, as the killer had placed his mask on an unwitting paramedic.
However, in order for Halloween to expand into a proper cinematic universe connected to the TV show, it seems most likely that the story will be rebooted in some way. Starting over with a younger Michael Myers allows more room for a continuing story to be told in the modern era.
