TNT has cancelled its Tales From The Crypt revival before it even had the chance to scare up a single episode.
Network president Kevin Reilly confirmed to Deadline that the Tales From the Crypt horror block has been axed due to legal issues.
It will be replaced by a sci-fi block headed by filmmaker Ridley Scott:
“[Tales From The Crypt] really caught up in a complete legal mess unfortunately with a very complicated underlying rights structure. We lost so much time, so I said, ‘Look, I’m not waiting around four years for this thing’. Maybe that will come back around but in the meantime, Ridley Scott had come up, who has so much creative enthusiasm.”
The new sci-fi block is slated to launch in 2018.
RIP.
