Time to reboot another ’80s horror classic.

HBO is revamping David Cronenberg’s breakout 1981 sci-fi horror hit Scanners as a series. Cronenberg, who also wrote the film, will act as executive producer, along with Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer of Media Res Studio and Meredith Duff and Sarah Sullivan of Wayward Films.

Per the official description, the series is “set in the mind-bending world of David Cronenberg’s seminal film. Pursued by relentless agents with unimaginable powers, two women living on the fringes of modern society must learn to work together to topple a vast conspiracy determined to bring them to heel.”

Black Mirror writer William Bridges, who also served as a scribe on Stranger Things, is writing and set to serve as showrunner and Lovecraft Country director Yann Demange on board to direct. 

Media Res, which is known to take its time developing its productions, first announced they were working on the series version of Scanners in 2017. The company is also behind The Morning Show, now shooting its third season.

Scanners told the story of a small group of people with powerful psychic, telepathic and telekinetic powers. One faction of Scanners, as these people were labeled, was led by a power-mad man named Revok, played by Michael Ironside, who aims to take over the world. To stop him, a private security firm recruits its own scanners, but they have an ulterior motive of their own.

The film also starred Stephen Lack, Jennifer O’Neill, and Patrick McGoohan and went on to achieve cult film status, particularly for the infamous sequence in which a scanner’s head explodes (pictured above). The original film spawned four sequels, though Cronenberg had nothing to do with any of them.

No projected premiere date, nor any other details about the series have been released.
