It’s also plausible that The Purge television series could operate on the world outside of The Purge or perhaps be a prequel series, although I’m not sure how a show focused on politics and not killing would be received by fans of horror.
It’s worth mentioning that the first film in The Purge franchise takes place in 2022, and the first Purge takes place in 2018.
With no release date set for the television series, it’s possible the next film for The Purge could pave the way for the new story being told on the small screen.
This uncharted territory could be the sweet spot the series is aiming for as it explores the opening years of the event, as well as serve as a prequel explaining some of the more nuanced details of the world not covered by the films.
