Title: PURGATORY - TV Series
"PURGATORY” is a SUPERNATURAL ANTHOLOGY PROCEDURAL SERIES set in the past and present day. The veil between the Dead and the Living lifts on Halloween allowing souls to leave Purgatory, and return to today’s world with 36 hours to unravel the cause of their unrest and redeem themselves. If they fail, they return to Purgatory.
THE SERIES is Neo-Noir and promises to be a lightning rod for Horror fans looking for a new spin on Halloween, with enough real history to resonate with costume drama junkies. PURGATORY offers a Guilded Age time travel in the darkness of Twilight Zone.
36 HOURS Call it Dia de Muertos, Samhain or Halloween - the portals open at dusk on October 30th, closing again on November 1st, at dawn. In this series the 36 hours always runs over a weekend, Friday evening to Sunday morning. Each season is set in a different city and time period, the theme is global and emminently scaleable.
WHY NOW?
​
Afterlife and Halloween themes are evergreen, but the Pandemic, the wars raging in Europe and the Mid East and ecological crisis has increased a hunger for entertainment offering security in the future, hope and a karma-style justice. Much the same as it was in early 20th century New York, as we see in Season 1: Story of Tulla. As traditional religions continue to be in conflict and mess up their messaging, people are turning once again to Paganism, polytheistic faiths and Magic for escape.
In the USA alone, nearly 2 million people identify as witches, $21 million has been spent on Tarot-related Kickstarters and fortune telling is worth an estimated $2 billion. Witchtok has 24.1 billion views on Tiktok and nearly 20 million posts on Instagram. In the UK astrology service industry is valued at £27 million per year.
PURGATORY stories are a comfort blanket for anyone yearning for a second chance, lovers of Halloween and all who hope for an Afterlife.
