Folk horror property The Wicker Man is once again burning to life with a TV series adaptation in the works, Deadline reports. Via the site, “Almost 50 years after the release of Robin Hardy’s horror classic, Andy Serkis and Jonathan Cavendish’s The Imaginarium and Studiocanal-backed Urban Myth Films are turning The Wicker Man into a TV series.”

Howard Overman (War of the Worlds) wrote the script for the small screen adaptation, with Urban Myth and The Imaginarium in the “early stages of pitching to potential broadcasters.”

What a dreadful idea! If ever a story shouldn't be stretched out to a series or a miniseries, it's this one. Nobody wants to wait forever for the, you know, Original Burning Man Festival.

You never know, occasionally they get it right! Plenty of characters they can expand on in interesting ways. Cautiously optimistic.
