One of Apple`s upcoming original television shows is a reboot of Steven Spielberg`s `Amazing Stories,` a science fiction and horror series that originally ran from 1985 to 1987.
For the new version of `Amazing Stories,` Apple has inked a deal with `Once Upon a Time` co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, who are set to serve as executive producers and show runners on the series.
Horowitz and Kitsis are joining `Amazing Stories` following the February departure of Bryan Fuller, the original showrunner. Fuller reportedly left the project due to creative differences with Apple. While he wanted to turn `Amazing Stories` into a Black Mirror-style show, Apple is aiming for something more family friendly.
The two producers have previously worked on shows that include `Popular,` `Felicity,` `Lost,` and `Once Upon a Time,` and they have been involved with `Tron: Legacy.` `Once Upon a Time,` which they created in 2011, is perhaps the most well-known series the two have collaborated on.
`Amazing Stories` is a show that`s similar to series like `Tales From the Crypt` and `Twilight Zone,` with a new topic explored during each episode. Apple has ordered 10 episodes of `Amazing Stories,` but as with all of the company`s original television shows, it`s not entirely clear when we`ll see a debut. Rumors have suggested the first of the shows could launch in 2019.Related Roundup: Apple TVBuyer`s Guide: Apple TV (Neutral)Discuss this article in our forums
