The Lost Boys TV show is now a thing after Deadline revealed that a small-screen version of the classic 1980s horror comedy is in the works over at The CW Stateside. The trade blog reveals that the nw show will come from Veronica Mars and iZombie creator Rob Thomas, Gulfstream TV and Warner Bros Television.
The producers and the network envision that The Lost Boys TV Show will run over a planned SEVEN seasons and tell a story spanning 70 years, each season chronicling a decade.
The Lost Boys starred Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman and was released all of the way back in 1987. If you can’t remember the plot, then here’s a reminder with its official synopsis:
Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.
Season 1 will be set in San Francisco during the Summer of Love, 1967. Each season, the humans, the setting, the antagonist and the story all change — only the vampires, our Lost Boys, who like the Peter Pan characters never grow up, remain the same. – Deadline.
