Stampede Entertainment has announced it is developing a new project based on the cult classic Tremors after reclaiming rights to the original 1990 script.
The company is considering a “return-to-Perfection” story and hinted at the potential involvement of Kevin Bacon reprising his role as Valentine McKee, though plans remain early and unconfirmed.
The producers stressed that the new concept will not be a remake or based on unused scripts from past sequels, such as the original version of Tremors 5. Fresh settings and ideas for the graboids are being explored to expand the world first seen in the original film.
Amid the excitement, confusion spread online after a viral Facebook post claimed that Netflix was developing a Tremors series starring Bacon. However, Newsweek reported that the source is unreliable and confirmed there are no current plans for Netflix involvement in the franchise.
The Tremors franchise previously ventured into television with a 2003 series aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. The series, featuring Michael Gross and Victor Brown, was cancelled after one season but remains available to stream on Tubi.
Fans eager to revisit the original film, which starred Bacon alongside Fred Ward, Finn Carter, and Reba McEntire, can find it streaming on AMC+ or available for rental on Prime Video. The original Tremors has maintained its cult following for over three decades, blending horror and comedy in a story about a small town battling subterranean monsters.
