Hollywood has never leaned harder on the past. As of November 2026, more than 100 remakes, reboots, reimaginings and revivals are in the works across film and TV, each one built on something audiences have already seen. They range from a Jamie Lee Curtis Murder, She Wrote to a Netflix 13 Going on 30, from a Glee comeback to a Cable Guy series on Hulu, and from a live-action Flintstones to new versions of Undercover Boss and Monarch of the Glen.
Every title here is still unreleased. Some carry new names, like Single Female or Gatsby, and some are billed as “reimaginings,” “rebuttals” or “inspired by” the original, but none is an original idea. New adaptations of books that were filmed before count too, as do revived game and reality shows.
The list opens with every title that has a release date, in order. The rest are grouped by how far along they are, from cameras rolling to early talks.
