An infamously spooky TV cleaning soap is getting animated.
An animated reboot of the basic ABC vampire cleaning soap opera “Darkish Shadows” is within the works at Warner Bros. Animation, the studio introduced on Friday. The brand new grownup animated sequence could be “persevering with the saga of the Collins household,” per the official logline: “Mixing Gothic, horror, and supernatural genres, this coming adaptation guarantees all of the darkish twists and romantic intrigue that outlined the transformational sequence throughout its 1200-plus episode run.” (No community is connected but, however the sequence may probably air on a Warner Bros. Discovery community like Grownup Swim or HBO Max.)
Debuting in 1966 on ABC, “Darkish Shadows” began out as a Gothic romance earlier than introducing a supernatural factor within the type of vampire Barnabas Collins, amassing a loyal viewership till it signed off in 1971. NBC aired a short-lived remake in 1991, and The CW tried a sequel sequence in 2019 that was scrapped earlier than making it to air. “Darkish Shadows” even acquired the big-budget film therapy in 2012, with Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring as Barnabas.
