Get ready for the spine-chilling introduction of the Michael Myers Halloween Cinematic Universe, as Halloween makes its way to television. Miramax has secured the rights to bring this iconic horror franchise to the small screen, and they’re not stopping there. In addition to a Halloween TV series, the deal also includes a glimpse into potential upcoming projects in the world of television.
This move signifies Halloween’s entry into the ever-growing realm of cinematic universes, with industry reports suggesting that the forthcoming TV show could serve as the launchpad for a sprawling universe that spans both film and television.
Marc Helwig, the Head of Global TV at Miramax, expressed his enthusiasm about this development, stating, “We are beyond thrilled to broadcast Halloween on television. We are excited to continue our long-standing and fruitful collaboration with [Trancas International Films] and the talented Malek Akkad in bringing this venerable brand to a new audience and storytelling format.”
Halloween, a franchise that first haunted the silver screen in 1978, experienced a resurgence with a recent trilogy of films directed by David Gordon Green. The trilogy, which includes “Halloween” (2018), “Halloween Kills” (2021), and “Halloween Ends” (2022), collectively raked in nearly $500 million at the global box office.

If this vision comes to fruition, Halloween will join the ranks of numerous cinematic universes that have emerged in recent years. Notably, Mattel’s plans to create its cinematic universe were set in motion after the success of “Barbie.” Meanwhile, DC Comics is embarking on a new chapter with James Gunn at the helm, aiming to reboot the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) with “DCU Chapter One.” In the world of transforming robots, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” is striving to kickstart a universe that includes Hasbro characters. And let’s not forget Sony’s sporadic efforts to establish a Spider-Man cinematic universe, with films like “Morbius” on the horizon.
As Halloween ventures into the world of television, horror fans and cinephiles alike are in for an electrifying ride, as the Halloween Cinematic Universe prepares to unleash its frightful potential on both the big and small screens.
