In what is sure to be excellent news for surviving members of The Doors, the 1987 classic horror film The Lost Boys is getting its own CW reboot, Deadline reports.

The CW Network, home to seemingly 90% of the shows I’ve ever loved, has announced their pilot pickups and the lineup is impressive. Topping the list is an ordered pilot of The Lost Boys, which the CW has been trying to develop since 2016. Originally the reboot was slated to be handled by Rob Thomas (iZombie, Veronica Mars) but the network was reportedly unenthusiastic about Thomas’ pitch. That version of The Lost Boys would have begun in the Summer of Love, 1967, and each season of a reported seven-season plan would take place over a decade. The plan was put on hold and Thomas moved on to his reboot of Veronica Mars for Hulu.

The IP was revived with a pitch by one of Shonda Rhimes’ writers, Heather Mitchell (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy), whose plan was good enough to get the CW back on board with the show. Given the CW’s other hit shows, including Riverdale and Dynasty, we can likely expect a gritty, sexy look at the teenage vampire community of that ultimate weird little beach town, Santa Clara. The logline for the show describes it as:

“Welcome to sunny seaside Santa Carla, home to a beautiful boardwalk, all the cotton candy you can eat…and a secret underworld of vampires. After the sudden death of their father, two brothers move to Santa Carla with their mother, who hopes to start anew in the town where she grew up. But the brothers find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into the seductive world of Santa Carla’s eternally beautiful and youthful undead.”

If you’ve seen the movie, you know that this is pretty much the plot of it as well. The 1987 film is an iconic Eighties classic, starring Jason Patric and Corey Haim as the two brothers, Keifer Sutherland as the cool sexy head teen vampire, and Ed “Richard Gilmore” Herrmann as the sinister original vampire. The town of Santa Clara itself is one of the best examples of world-building in horror cinema; it’s a feverish little California beach town full of teenagers with seemingly no authority figures running around having dystopic beach parties. It’s one of director Joel Schumacher’s finest moments, and totally makes up for the time he almost killed off the Batman franchise single-handed. It’s also ripe for a dark, flashy remake a la Riverdale, so barring the apocalypse you’ll be seeing The Lost Boys headed for the small screen in the near future.
