Larry Cohen teaming with J.J. Abrams for anthology thriller series

August 24, 2017 by Gary Collinson

During an interview with BrokeHorrorFan to promote the release of the upcoming documentary King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen, B-movie auteur Larry Cohen (Maniac Cop) has revealed that he is developing a new anthology thriller series with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot.

“We’re working on a series now for cable with J.J. Abrams, who is a big fan of mine, and his company, Bad Robot,” said Cohen. “Each season would be ten original one-hour Larry Cohen thrillers. We’ve got about two seasons already written, ready to be shot. If that happens, it’ll be a whole new renaissance, and there will be a lot of my material out in the world, and I’ll direct some of them. [It’s] a thriller anthology. I’m hoping to get somebody like Christopher Walken to be the host and introduce them in a comedic way.”
