The Purge TV Series Gets A Premiere Date And Intense First Trailer

BY KEVIN YEOMAN

 

 

The first trailer for the television adaptation of The Purge has arrived and it looks to be every bit as intense and unsettling as the feature films from which it is adapted. The series is set to air on USA this September (with the premiere and finale set to be simulcast on SYFY), and it not only comes with the name recognition of the popular film series, but also that of Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, which has seen its profile increase dramatically over the past few years, and especially thanks to the critical and box office success of Jordan Peele’s Get Out.

 

But The Purge is riding high on its own this summer, as the franchise is set to release The First Purge, a prequel starring Marisa Tomei that, unsurprisingly, recounts how the tradition of the violent, crime-ridden holiday came to be. (Bonus: it features Tomei’s character, The Architect/Dr. Updale, actually uttering the phrase, “What have I done?”). While there's that to look forward to in July, the Purge continues in September on the small screen.
