As originally reported, Paul Giamatti is attached to star in the series, with “Hostel” mastermind Eli Roth set to write, direct, and executive produce. Chris Briggs and Mike Fleiss, who have produced all the “Hostel” films, are also executive producers. Fifth Season is the studio. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps.

Eli Roth, who wrote and directed the first two films in the 2000s horror franchise, is also on board the project from Fifth Season.

Eli Roth's 2005 horror film Hostel is in development, where Roth will return to direct and co-write the series with Chris Briggs, who worked on the first film.
