The iconic horror franchise Hostel is making a comeback with a new TV series in development at Peacock. Paul Giamatti stars in the show, with Eli Roth returning to write, direct, and produce. Original plot details remain under wraps, but the series is expected to follow the terrifying premise of the original movies, which centered on tourists abducted by a sadistic group in Eastern Europe. The original Hostel film launched in 2006, rapidly gaining notoriety and spawning two sequels, making it a benchmark in horror cinema.

What is the release date for the Hostel TV series?

There are no exact release details available yet, but the series could potentially be ready in time for Halloween 2026.

Hostel has become a landmark in the horror genre since its debut. The first film was noted for its graphic content and bleak themes, effectively ushering in a new wave of horror during the mid-2000s. Its success led to a sequel and further exploration of the horror elements unique to international tourism and exploitation. With Giamatti's recent interest in horror roles, this new series could offer a fresh take on the disturbing themes established in the films.
