After over a year with no update, Eli Roth’s upcoming Hostel TV series is finally in development and has found a home.

The series is currently in development at NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock, as reported by Variety. Hostel creator Roth is set to write, direct, and executive produce the series, with original Hostel producers Chris Briggs and Mike Fleiss on board as executive producers.

In 2011, a third film was released straight to video; however, Roth was not involved with this project. The first two movies remain favourites in the genre, with Hostel standing at a respectable 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the second with 44%, which is not bad for a ‘00s horror film. The hostel movies came about during a time when horror fans were loving torture porn movies such as Saw.

Plot details for the Hostel series are being kept tightly under wraps. We are not sure how Hostel will filter through into a series format. However, we suspect that with the freedom that comes with the amount of time a show offers versus a movie format, we’ll finally get to know more about the Elite Hunting Club, and perhaps how it started.
