“Something’s being made. I think we’re actually going to do a series. That’s what they’re trying to give us,” he said on Watch What Happens Live. “Aiming for like first quarter, even, next year.”

Golding told host Andy Cohen, “There are scripts hanging around but they haven’t been passed on yet. I haven’t read anything, but I hear it’s promising.”

The Warner Bros. TV series previously opened a development room led by executive producer and showrunner Adele Lim, who penned the movie with Peter Chiarelli. Chu and Kwan also serve as executive producers on the show.

As of February, the original cast was in unofficial chats about returning. A source told Deadline the series will not replace the long-awaited sequel of the 2018 film, but will be based on the same book series.
