Adolescence team planning to reboot the most terrifying TV movie ever

The production team responsible for the Netflix hit, Adolescence, intends to delve into similarly significant subject matter with an upcoming series, inspired by the most startling television film ever made.

Warp Films creates thought-provoking TV shows and films that delve into weighty subjects and grand themes. Their work spans from critically-acclaimed movies such as This is England and Four Lions on the big screen, to highly praised TV series like The Virtues and Reunion.

As an avid admirer, I’d like to share that the creative powerhouse hailing from Sheffield is the mastermind behind “Adolescence,” a gripping Netflix series that unfolds the aftermath of a schoolgirl’s murder. This captivating tale was skillfully crafted over four enthralling episodes, each meticulously filmed in a single, uninterrupted take.

The original show shattered numerous streaming milestones, sparking discussions about a possible follow-up. However, Warp is currently working on another series that promises to be just as thought-provoking and engaging.

Adolescence producers are rebooting Threads as a TV drama

Warp Films has acquired the option to turn the 1984 film Threads into a television drama.

Originally produced as a TV movie, this powerful production was written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson. It offered a gripping portrayal of life in Sheffield during a worldwide conflict, earning praise for its realistic approach that vividly conveyed the chilling effects of a nuclear winter.

The harrowing miniseries “Threads” premiered on BBC in September 1984, and on TBS in the US in January 1985. This production was a hit on both continents, earning four BAFTA awards, among them the Best Single Drama award.

Warp announced some details about the upcoming remake, stating: “Known for its innovative portrayal of a fictional apocalypse, Threads shows a distressing image of life during nuclear war times in Britain, specifically Sheffield. This new version will delve into relevant themes using compelling character development. The original film’s chilling narrative transports viewers into the struggles of everyday people enduring unthinkable hardships.

Mark Herbert, founder and CEO of Warp, commented: “Threads is, and continues to be, an unwaveringly truthful drama that explores the heart-wrenching consequences of nuclear war for ordinary people. This narrative resonates perfectly with our mission of creating compelling, relatable stories. By transforming this timeless film into a television series, we gain a rare chance to examine its contemporary significance.
