Barnabas Collins is headed back to the screen, with The Hollywood Reporter breaking the news that Warner Bros. Animation is developing a brand new animated “Dark Shadows” series.
Created by Dan Curtis, “Dark Shadows” aired between 1966 and 1971, starring Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins. Tim Burton turned the show into a movie back in 2012.
This brand new project is described as an “adult animated series.”
The “Dark Shadows” animated series will continue the saga of the Collins family.
“Blending gothic, horror, and supernatural genres, this coming adaptation promises all the dark twists and romantic intrigue that defined the transformational series across its 1200-plus episode run.”
Lisa Holdsworth (“Dreamers”) is showrunning and executive producing.
The original series documented the lives, loves, trials, and tribulations of the wealthy Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, where a number of supernatural occurrences take place.
