Why just pick up Castle Rock? That was a good series?

Or revive that True Blood ?

The problem with “reviving” True Blood is that everything after the initial story arcs, both in the source material and the show, gets really fucking dumb.

They should reboot True Blood, but every time somebody says "Beel" or "SOOKie", they use soundbytes from the original. And just bring back Alexander Skarsgard with no comment whatsoever

Vampire Erik now has a familiar who is a strange, effeminate redneck buffoon, so that Alexander Skarsgard’s best friend Jack McBrayer can join in the fun.

The trouble with Castle Rock is that they ran it quickly into the ground.

The real problem was their criminal underuse of Jane Levy. It also didn’t help that they planned on having season 2 focus on her character heading to the Overlook Hotel, but then the Doctor Sleep movie got announced and they had to rewrite everything.

castle rock wasnt popular enough - it is the highest grossing horror film not adjusted for inflation so is likely to be far more popular.

true blood - has not been off air long enough to justify a reboot

HBO just announced that they canceled their plans to reboot it. None of the scripts ever got off the ground.
