All things considered, many franchises are getting a fresh paint job. Who knows?

Possibly, but that'd also mean that people are running out of ideas....

Well, look at Cobra Kai, for example. Somehow the creators managed to revived a dormant franchise with respectful treatment of its original characters while bringing new casts for modern vibes and making it work on a satisfying level for both the original & current fandom.

The main point here is respectful treatment of original, established characters. Also, the format of basically "5 hour movie broken down into 10 episodes" which is still digestible for the audiences.

All things considered, I'd think a grand finale of this format for all original, established characters (including Michael with bigger deuteragonist role) would serve this franchise well enough.

I understand your point, but I'm still not convinced such a grand finale will happen.

There is a Ted tv show on Peacock and Ted only has 2 movies.

If we get a reboot, and a tv show, that's great. But my concern would be who is the director and so on? I don't want the Underworld Franchise to become like Twilight or the Vampire Diaries or the Vampire Academy.

I wouldn't know since I never watched Twilight

Interesting....

Of course. The good reviews and large fanbase from those series showing us how such of a calibre this guys is, not to mention his experience in handling the making of TV series. Also, the creators of Cobra Kai too, for the aforementioned reasons.

I don't even know how large the fanbase is right now....
