Maybe this will help move the needle for Peacock’s stagnating subscriber base? The streamer has picked up Eli Roth’s Hostel series, a television adaptation of the horror director’s gruesome “tortured abroad” franchise. Paul Giamatti, first announced as attached to the project over a year ago, will star in the show in an undisclosed role.

As originally reported, Paul Giamatti is attached to star in the series, with “Hostel” mastermind Eli Roth set to write, direct, and executive produce. Chris Briggs and Mike Fleiss, who have produced all the “Hostel” films, are also executive producers. Fifth Season is the studio. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps.

Eli Roth is bringing his horrific Hostel series to the small screen. The show is currently in development at Peacock and will star Emmy winner Paul Giamatti, according to our sister site Variety. TVLine has reached out to the streamer for confirmation and more details.
