'The Purge' is Being Made into A TV Series

The Purge film franchise is set to be remade for television, creator James DeMonaco has confirmed.  

The films are focused on the fact that for one night each year the government lifts all punishments for any crime, supposedly guaranteeing a peaceful and law-abiding country for the remainder of the year.

The films have been very popular.    

James DeMonaco, The Purge creator, told Cinema Blend: "My idea is that you do six or seven storylines. And I would kind of intercut them, use flashbacks.  

"It will be interesting to show those dramatic and complex arcs that get people to where they pick up a gun or a knife and kill someone else. I think there's something cool that we can do with the real estate of TV - 10 hours, potentially."  

The television series, which is currently in development, will explore why people resort to criminality, through - in the word of the franchises' creator - an 'interwoven anthology'.

This sounds really cool and interesting!!
