News 1313 The Munsters to Get a “Dark Reimagining” in New Series Called 1313 Do we really need to grimdark the Munsters family? By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 22, 2024 Screenshot: Universal Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Universal Pictures The 1964 television series, The Munsters, was a sitcom affair, more full of laughs than moments of sheer terror. Universal Studios, however, who holds rights to The Munsters as part of their “Universal Monsterverse,” is looking to take the suburban supernatural family to the grimdark side. According to Deadline, Universal Content Productions is working on a series called 1313, which is a “darker reimagining” of The Munsters. The title comes from the home address of the family in the original show: 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the fictional town of Mockingbird Heights, California. This isn’t the first reboot of The Munsters in recent history. In 2022, Rob Zombie released a film centered on the family, which received mixed reviews. We don’t know much more about this upcoming grimdark take on The Munsters other than Lindsey Anderson Beer is on board to showrun. Beer’s previous credits include writing and directing the critically maligned Pet Sematary: Bloodlines , which currently has a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and also penning a script for other announced projects in development (or development limbo), such as Short Circuit and an adaptation of Patrick Rothfuss’ The Kingkiller Chronicle. Horror legend James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring, Malignant) and Ingrid Bisu are working with Breen to develop the series. No news yet on whether the show will go into production, much less who would take on the darker version of the characters from the original series.
