TNT President Kevin Reilly recently had an interview with Slash Film confirming earlier reports and bringing clarity to the final release date. “The anthology will be part of it every week and then there’ll be rotating different serialized original hours,” Reilly said.
He is even hoping to get fan stories added to the series. There will be some hurdles legally to be worked out. “Some of those shorts are going to be crowdsourced ultimately,” Reilly said. “I don’t even think we’ve announced this yet but we are working with Wattpad and ultimately I’d like some material to come from [from viewers]. We have some Guild issues we need to work out on this, but I’d like fan fiction to essentially make its way to our air.”
Yes, you can bet we will indeed see a brand new Crypt Keeper involved in the production, “That’s also a little bit of a legal thing too,” Reilly said. “The rights on this are just a disaster. It’s been a mess trying to sort out. There are so many people that seem to have an ownership position on this. So yeah, that’s both a creative and legal thing.”
Tales From the Crypt is still over a year away, so there’s time to work those details out. “Tales will be on towards the end of ’17, in the fourth quarter ’17,” Reilly said.
