PHILADELPHIA — Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan is dipping his hands into the world of literature and is revisiting the small screen.

On Monday, Variety reported that the Shyamalan will direct “Magic 8 Ball,” a live-action series based on the popular Mattel fortune-telling toy.

“Been working on this for a couple years … Who’s in?,” Shyamalan wrote in an Instagram post featuring the screenplay for the pilot episode, with a Magic 8 Ball resting on top.

Shyamalan will serve as co-creator with Brad Falchuk, co-creator of hit TV shows such as “Glee” and “American Horror Story.” Falchuk will also be writing the forthcoming TV series, which marks Shyamalan’s return to television since the conclusion of “Servant,” the Apple TV+ series directed by him, that ended in March 2023 after four seasons.
