Waterworld is getting a TV series according to some recent reports. Collider says that producers John Davis are working on a show that charts the universe’s evolution over the time since the first film. Dan Trachtenberg is aboard to direct the project as well. Davis said, “We’re going to do the streaming version of that movie, the continuation of that movie.” Kevin Costner played the mysterious protagonist The Mariner in the original feature. In a world where the Earth flooded after the polar ice caps melted, The Mariner tries to help a woman and her daughter try to find mythical land. 20 years is a long time in any world, so expect some developments to keep the characters on their toes. While a notable box office bomb in its original iteration, the movie has reached a kind of cult status among film fans because of the wild details surrounding the hit production. In a world where a lot of shows get their start from classic movies, this should do well too.
