A live-action scripted TV series inspired by Mattel’s iconic Magic 8 Ball is being developed by M. Night Shyamalan (known for The Sixth Sense, Split, Signs), Emmy winner Brad Falchuk (Glee, American Horror Story, Pose), and Mattel Studios.
The project was first revealed by Mattel and Shyamalan on Instagram.
Per the official description, the series, co-created by Shyamalan and Falchuk, will “reimagine the Magic 8 Ball as the focal point of a high-concept, character-driven supernatural drama, weaving psychological depth with cultural intrigue.”
Shyamalan will direct, co-create, and co-showrun the series, while Falchuk will write, co-create, and co-showrun.
