Big news for fans of The Lost Boys, it would appear that The CW has given new life to the 80s cult hit. According to a recent report via Deadline Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars, iZombie) is bringing the cult classic to network. With The Vampire Diaries coming to an end next year, the move makes sense; there is already a vampire loving audience built-in. It seems to be a win-win for the network.

The CW is known for its long-running shows and it would seem that The Lost Boys television adaptation will be taking advantage of that fact, rumors suggest that the new show is being “envisioned for a seven-season run and will tell a story “spanning 70 years”. The plan is to move the story forward every season, “the humans, the setting, the antagonist and the story all change–only the vampires–will remain the same.”

The rest is unclear, there are not too many details as of yet but I’m sure that will change once the internet goes crazy with the news.
