In very unexpected but wonderful news, a TV series based on the 1995 Kevin Costner movie Waterworld--and also, we hope, the award-winning Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood--is in the works. The news comes from Collider, which reports that John Davis, a producer on the film, is currently developing the project for a streaming network.
Speaking to Collider, Davis said, "We're going to do the streaming version of that movie, the continuation of that movie." The film is set in the year 2500, with the seas having risen to cover the entire planet with water. Costner played a character called the Mariner--a fish/human hybrid with gills and webbed feet--that traveled the seas, trading dry dirt to people. After discovering a young girl with a map to a dry piece of land tattooed on her back, the Mariner protects her from the evil Deacon (Dennis Hopper) and ultimately they journey to the top of Mt. Everest--the only remaining land above water.
As for what the continuation would be, there's no telling. At the end of the movie, the Mariner realizes the sea is his home, leaving the little girl and their friends to live on dry land, while he sails away. According to Davis, the new series would take place two decades later and feature the characters from the first movie. Of course, that doesn't mean the cast would return.
