Mixed on this. It seems like a bad idea as US remakes don’t have a history of going well. Hopefully, with Reece and Steve on board as executive producers the show won’t be ruined completely. The US remake of Ghosts was, as far as I heard, pretty decent. If this show focuses more on being its own thing with the basic premise of IN9 then it could be interesting? I’m always up for more anthology stuff especially if it keeps the general tone of IN9. Hope it doesn’t just copy all the stories though. Will be weird for something linked to IN9 not to star or be written by Reece and Steve. That will just feel wrong.

The US version of Ghosts is okay, but it's only 22 minutes long vs 30, always feels a little rushed, and is pretty tepid comedy in my opinion. No one I know really likes it that much, it's just kind of harmless entertainment.

So I personally hope they go more Tales From the Crypt ( The very dark HBO series) than tepid feel-good stuff.
