A post shared by Martin Macias (@movienerd323) on

The storyline of The Purge films is that on one day a year, people are able to commit any crime they want without getting arrested — including murder. Now, a new TV show is going to revisit the idea.

It was announced at the NBC upfront this morning that the show will reveal how this “awful law” affects America during the rest of the year. In other words, what happens once a “purge” is over?

The TV version of The Purge is being co-produced with Universal Cable Production and will air on USA and Syfy.

Does this sound like a show worth watching?
