Why you're about to see even more of your favorite films from the '80s and '90s turned into TV shows
Shows based on "Alien," "The Mighty Ducks," "Snowpiercer," "A League of Their Own" and "The Equalizer" are currently in the pipeline. In the last decade, streaming services have disrupted the content pipeline. Day time talk shows and reruns play during the morning and early afternoon hours and new episodes of shows arrive after the evening news.

Turning nostalgic films into longform TV shows is an easy way to capture audiences and reduce financial risk.
