Stephen King’s Cujo is coming to Netflix.
Horror fans, brace yourselves—Netflix is resurrecting one of Stephen King’s most terrifying tales.
The streaming giant has officially given the green light to a remake of Cujo, the spine-chilling story of a mother and son trapped in their car facing a rabid dog.
Roy Lee, the mastermind producer behind Barbarian, is set to oversee the reboot, as per Variety.
However, Netflix has yet to lock in a writer, director, or cast—so while the project is in motion, we’re still waiting to see who will step up to face Cujo’s bone-chilling wrath.
Originally published in 1981, King’s Cujo first hit the big screen in 1983, with Lewis Teague directing and Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh Kelly, and Danny Pintauro leading the cast.
The film became an instant cult classic, terrifying audiences with its claustrophobic suspense and making pet owners everywhere eye their dogs with a little more caution.
Of course, this isn’t the first time King’s works have found new life on screen.
The legendary author’s novels have inspired some of Hollywood’s most iconic films, from The Shining to The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.
And let’s not forget the small screen—King’s eerie imagination is making waves there too.
HBO is set to release Welcome to Derry, a prequel to It, while Flanagan is also developing a Carrie series for Amazon.
With Netflix taking the leash on Cujo, horror lovers can expect a fresh, terrifying take on King’s classic.
