BIG NEWS: Parallels picked up as a TV-show: renamed to 'The Building'


Parallels is going to be turned into a TV-show. It is called ''The Building''. No word on the cast yet. But:

''Written by Albert Kim and Leone, The Building involves a large skyscraper that moves between alternate realities and a group of young urban explorers who are in the building and suddenly find themselves on an Earth wherein Reagan was not elected and Russia dropped the bomb. They then figure out they have a limited amount of time to figure out where they are and rescue members of their team before the building shifts again to another reality. They soon realize that this Earth is also different from where they started and getting back may be impossible.''

It sounds like it won't be a total reset but it will build on the plot of the Netflix movie. However, it might not be a DIRECT sequel, Chris Leone has said:

''It's a series based on the digital film. So some of it will be very familiar and some of it will be new. It's super cool.''

No word yet on whether Constance Wu or any of the others will reprise their roles.

Well I'm psyched. Sliders was one of my favourite shows and I really liked Parallels. Hope they will create something wonderful.

Finally! Been waiting on this.

Can't wait!! I've watched Parallels more times than I can count!

Wow I'm late to respond but I'm pretty pumped. Loved the concept behind Parallels and watched it several times while it was on Netflix.

It would be nice to get some of the same cast but I don't mind new cast members (or entirely new).

reply

Yes, I'm still waiting for more news! Can't wait.

This is great news. Parallels was a terrific movie and I'm glad it'll get to be a TV show.

reply

That's great, looking forward to it.

UNfortunatelly this does not seem to be going to materialize.

reply

It's been so long now, I can't even remember this show. And, apparently, I posted about it in 2019.

reply

Just watched it yesterday, i really wish it was made into a TV show. A more modern version of Sliders would have been so great.

reply

Its 2022 and still waiting ))) I wonder what happened and why it didnt move forward
