He’ll Tear Your Soul Apart! Pinhead is Getting his Own Series!
In addition to a new Hellraiser feature film reboot from David S. Goyer, word came down late Friday that the central Cenobite Pinhead is also getting his own TV series. Deadline broke the news:
It producer Roy Lee and Ready Player One producer Dan Farah have positioned themselves to bring to the small screen for the first time Hellraiser, the iconic horror franchise anchored by the malevolent straight-out-of-hell villain, Pinhead. Those producers have joined forces with producer-rightsholders Lawrence Kuppin, David Salzman and Eric Gardner, who have controlled those TV rights since New World was sold in 1989.

Producers have launched a search for the perfect writers, and it remains uncertain at this time whether the new series will be an anthology or a more traditional narrative. Whatever the case, the intention is to use Clive Barker’s novella The Hellbound Heart as a launching pad.
