Christopher Pike's 1989 YA horror novel Remember Me is coming to Tubi with a film adaptation from Match director Danishka Esterhazy.
Brec Bassinger (Final Destination Bloodlines) and Charlie Gillespie (Sidelined 2: Intercepted), with Suzanne Keilly (Slumber Party Massacre) on script duties.
Per the official synopsis:
In this YA supernatural murder-mystery, Shari Cooper (Bassinger) is dead. Like, fell from the top of a high-rise to the street below, dead. And one of her friends is her killer. Now she has to solve her own murder from beyond the grave, before the relentless, soul-sucking Shadow that’s stalking her gets to her first.
Also starring are Mila Rayne (Darby and the Dead), Phoebe Lyons (Watch Me Burn), Matthew Vey (Summertide) and Kealeboga Masango (Genesis).
Pike's original novel kickstarted a YA horror series with Remember Me: The Return following in 1994, and a third book, Remember Me: The Last Story, capping off the trilogy in 1995. The series centers around the spirit of Shari, who solves the mystery of her own murder and later returns to life in another girl's body.
Per Variety, Remember Me is part of Tubi’s push to draw in an even bigger YA audience. Adam Lewinson, the chief content officer of Tubi, had the following to say about the upcoming adaptation:
“Tubi has become a destination for YA audiences seeking relatable stories, compelling themes and character-driven storytelling brought to life by dynamic talent like Brec and Charlie […] Christopher Pike’s Remember Me became a rite of passage for a generation — a twisty, supernatural thriller that readers never forgot — and we’re excited to reimagine it for today’s audience.”
Look out for more on Remember Me as we get it.
