If the continuing rights issues do lead to the network scrapping the Tales from the Crypt reboot, it would certainly be a shame considering the series seemed tailor-fit for Shyamalan and his affinity for twist endings – something the original HBO series, as well as the comic, built its foundation on.
Screen Rant will keep you updated on all Tales from the Crypt information as it becomes available.
Still, given the fact that Shyamalan has failed to produce a truly successful hit (The Visit being about the closest with moderately positive reviews and nearly $100 million in box office gross) and with how well regarded the original HBO series is, some fans would certainly welcome the reboot being cancelled altogether.
While it does sound like TNT is indeed close to working out the rights issues for Tales from the Crypt, it doesn’t exactly sound like the show will make its originally announced 2017 release date.
