Legendary Entertainment teams with Eric Heisserer for Pacific Rim TV deal

August 20, 2024 by EJ Moreno

We will return to the world of Pacific Rim with a new television deal in place.

Variety reports Legendary Entertainment will enter a first-look television deal with Eric Heisserer, who will work with the studio to “develop and shepherd IP-driven and related projects.”

First in line for the team-up will be a Pacific Rim origin story series. It will be the first live-action Pacific Rim series, bringing kaiju and mechs to the small screen.

Eric Heisserer is best known for his script for Arrival, which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. He’s also written films such as Bird Box and the 2010 remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. Netflix viewers will know him from his work on Shadow and Bone.

“Eric is a multitalented, prolific creator whose track record of critical and commercial successes speaks for itself,” said Jason Clodfelter, president of Legendary Television. “We are thrilled to launch our partnership with Eric, Chronology, and Carmen with a new entry in the epic, globally popular ‘Pacific Rim’ universe. We are certain their vision will make for an enthralling expansion to Legendary’s beloved franchise.”

Pacific Rim began in 2013 with the Guillermo del Toro-helmed film that grossed over $400 million at the global box office. A 2018 sequel, Pacific Rim Uprising, followed, and an anime series, Pacific Rim: The Black, aired two seasons on Netflix between 2021 and 2022.

Stay tuned to Flickering Myth for more news about the upcoming Pacific Rim projects.
