Waterworld (Tv Series) Dan Trachtenberg

More than 25 years after Waterworld hit theaters, producer John Davis is ready to return to the open seas, as he's developing a Waterworld streaming series that has Dan Trachtenberg attached to direct. "We're going to do the streaming version of that movie, the continuation of that movie," said Davis.

The series is expected to follow the characters from the original 1995 movie, and though Davis didn't mention any specific actors. he acknowledged it would take place "20 years later. All those people, 20 years later."

"We're not 100% sure on the approach to the show. But definitely, we're in the building stages right now," added John Fox, who has been Davis' producing partner at Davis Entertainment for nearly a decade.

"Larry Gordon and myself, we're the producers on that movie. And with John, we are all re-imagining it for the streaming version," said Davis, who acknowledged that he'd found a home for the series, though he declined to identify which streamer will be involved.

"For now, it's at Universal Television, and we are putting it together. But yes, we think it already has a home," added Fox, perhaps signaling a Peacock deal given Universal Television's involvement.

The project is still in the early stages of development, so there's no showrunner attached yet.

"We're talking to folks, but nobody locked in yet," said Fox. "Dan's attached, we're breaking the story now and we're talking to a few different writers. And we should have a writer locked in, I would think, over the next couple of weeks." •••
