Miramax has secured the television rights to the Halloween series from its current holder, Trancas International Films, managed by Malek Akkad. The deal involves the development of a Halloween TV series as well as first-look provisions for additional TV projects aimed at international markets. The plan includes potentially having a standalone cinematic universe for the Halloween series that spans both film and television.

The company's head of global TV, Marc Helwig, and Akkad will both supervise the delivery of the Halloween franchise. Both Helwig and Akkad expressed excitement about the project, pointing out that it introduces the iconic series to a new form of storytelling and a new generation of fans.

The Halloween series, which encompasses 13 films and began with the first movie in 1978, is set for further development even after the release of "Halloween Ends." The TV approach follows a growing trend to turn popular horror franchises into television series. Miramax appears to have ample content to draw upon, given the franchise's 45-year history.

A recent trilogy within the franchise portrayed Laurie Strode, Michael Myers' former babysitter. Despite the well-received performances of Jamie Lee Curtis and newcomer Rohan Campbell in the final film, critics argued that the film stumbled as it attempted to conclude the series. As it stands now, it seems, Michael Myers' story doesn't quite end with "Halloween Ends".
