Is Netflix creating a Tremors series? All you need to know about viral claim
If you are a Tremors fan, then chances are you might have stumbled upon a viral claim that Netflix is creating a series based on the '90s cult classic horror film. But is that true? Here's all you need to know: A Facebook account called Rumbledore recently announced that Netflix is developing an eight-episode Tremors reboot, with Kevin Bacon set to reprise his role as Valentine 'Val' McKee. The post quickly went viral, amassing thousands of views. However, a fact check conducted by Newsweek revealed that the news was false. The outlet revealed that the account responsible for the viral claim 'occasionally posts satire and sometimes inaccurate information.' This clearly means a Tremors series is not coming to Netflix. Despite the false news, there is an update on the comedy-horror franchise.

'We are discussing a return-to-Perfection sequel, and one or two more outlandish ideas featuring graboids in new settings,' the production company said. However, the company explained that whatever concept they 'decide to pitch to Hollywood' will not be a reboot of the original film featuring a new cast, nor 'will it be a version of our original script for Tremors 5.' 'We are considering ideas that feature the return of Kevin Bacon as Val, but no promises!' the company added. Alongside Bacon, the cast for the original film included Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire.

'Tremors' sequel: The truth behind rumours of Kevin Bacon's return with new Netflix series
Stampede Entertainment has announced it is developing a new project based on the cult classic Tremors after reclaiming rights to the original 1990 script. The company is considering a "return-to-Perfection" story and hinted at the potential involvement of Kevin Bacon reprising his role as Valentine McKee, though plans remain early and unconfirmed. The producers stressed that the new concept will not be a remake or based on unused scripts from past sequels, such as the original version of Tremors 5. Fresh settings and ideas for the graboids are being explored to expand the world first seen in the original film. Amid the excitement, confusion spread online after a viral Facebook post claimed that Netflix was developing a Tremors series starring Bacon. However, Newsweek reported that the source is unreliable and confirmed there are no current plans for Netflix involvement in the franchise. The Tremors franchise previously ventured into television with a 2003 series aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. The series, featuring Michael Gross and Victor Brown, was cancelled after one season but remains available to stream on Tubi. Fans eager to revisit the original film, which starred Bacon alongside Fred Ward, Finn Carter, and Reba McEntire, can find it streaming on AMC+ or available for rental on Prime Video. The original Tremors has maintained its cult following for over three decades, blending horror and comedy in a story about a small town battling subterranean monsters.
