Sonar Entertainment, formerly RHI Entertainment, has announced plans to reboot Clive Barker’s Hellraiser movie as a television series. Among the project’s producers is Larry Kuppin, whose New World Entertainment backed the first two Hellraiser movies.

From Sonar’s website:

One of the most successful (and terrifying) franchises in film history is ready for its weekly television debut.

For over 25 years, fans have followed the exploits of an insidious villain named Pinhead, summoned from a nightmarish underworld by an ancient puzzle box.

He will seduce you with power and tempt you with fear, until your soul belongs to him. Now, for the first time, a weekly series set in the fantastic realm of Hellraiser will thrill audiences worldwide.

Hellraiser is based on the Clive Barker novella “The Hellbound Heart.” The British author directed the very first film in the franchise, but regrettably sold the rights before it hit theaters in 1987. The film series is now on its ninth sequel, the awful Hellraiser Revelations.
