It looks like Kevin Bacon may be returning to Perfection.
Stampede Entertainment, the company that produced the beloved film Tremors in 1990, has revealed plans to create another sequel now that they have regained the rights to the original screenplay.
In an official statement, the company hinted at a sequel set in the town of Perfection, Nevada, where Valentine McKee (played by Bacon) and his buddies fought off monsters in the original movie. They also teased other unconventional concepts involving graboids in different environments.
The statement from Stampede assures fans that any new projects will not simply be a rehash of the original film with a new cast or a recycled version of their script for Tremors 5. While there is contemplation about bringing back Kevin Bacon as Val, nothing has been confirmed yet.
The movie follows the residents of a small town in Arizona who must defend themselves against strange underground creatures that are hunting them one by one. Fred Ward, Finn Carter, and Reba McEntire also starred in the film, which went on to become a cult classic.
No, it does not look like a Tremors sequel will be coming to Netflix. The exciting news has already sparked rumors of what the new installment will look like: A viral Facebook post wrongfully claims Netflix is releasing an eight-episode series with Bacon reprising his role as Val.
Per Newsweek, the account that shared the post is known for sharing inaccurate information relating to fictional movies and series. There is currently no sign that the streamer is involved in a Tremor series or any future installments in the franchise.
However, in addition to several sequel films, the film already has a short-lived spinoff series that aired on the Sci-Fi Network in 2003. The series, also called Tremors, focused on the sleepy desert town of Perfection, Nevada, where a giant prehistoric worm is terrorizing the residents as a no-nonsense survivalist struggles to maintain peace.
Starring Michael Gross and Victor Brown, the Tremors series was canceled due to poor ratings while filming on Season 1 was still underway, according to the Stampede Entertainment FAQ. But all 13 episodes of Season 1 are streaming now on Tubi.
Fans looking to tune into one of the earliest roles of Bacon’s career can stream the original Tremors on AMC+. The movie is also available on digital for rental or purchase from Prime Video.
