Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, one of the most celebrated films of the year, is reportedly going to be adapted into a limited TV series. By Adam McKay. For HBO. Yes, really.

But why, you ask? For whom, you inquire? To what end, you howl, banging your fists up against the wall of life, asking why the universe must challenge you so. Look, according to the Hollywood Reporter, this is happening, though deals with the respective parties have not yet been closed and details of this adaptation are still shrouded in a peach-like fuzz of mystery.

Per THR, Bong and McKay will both executive produce the English-language series, though it’s unclear if it will be a through-and-through remake, or a story that’s merely set in the same world as the South Korean film. Parasite revolves around a poor family infiltrating the luxe lifestyle of a rich family, which takes a dark turn. It’s been the toast of global cinema, taking home the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and picking up awards left and right over the last few months, including the Golden Globe for best foreign language film on Sunday.

Parasite is also predicted to take home the Oscar for best international film, in addition to picking up a handful of nods, including best picture and best director. However, it’s not just a hit with the high-brow film crowd, it’s also a major box office behemoth, grossing $130 million worldwide. That feverish acclaim, coupled with all that financial success makes it a moving target for the hungry adaptation crowd, who have likely been trying to get something in motion since the film first debuted.

Funnily enough, this news also arises years after we were first promised a Snowpiercer TV show, based on Bong’s outlandish 2013 film of the same name. A trailer for the upcoming TNT show, starring Jennifer Connolly and Daveed Diggs, was first released last July, with a promised 2020 release date. As of now, it’s set to be released this spring (allegedly!) though a specific release date has not yet been set. The show currently exists in the same limbo as The New Mutants, kind of just hanging out until the powers that be decide it’s ready to be unleashed upon the world.

Anyway, enough with the pessimism. Let’s try optimism, that sunny little outfit! Bong is going to be involved in the Parasite adaptation, which is good. McKay is one of the minds behind Succession, which is also good. Right? Come on! You’re obsessed with Succession! You’re its little slime puppy and you like it! So maybe this is a merging of two good things become one great thing! That, or Bong is conducting a really detailed social experiment to see if we took his lessons about capitalism to heart.
