Fans of the cult classic Tremors are filled with excitement and confusion, as a viral post claims that Netflix is working on a new series set in Perfection, Nevada, with Kevin Bacon returning as the iconic Valentine McKee. But is it true? Here’s what’s really happening with the Tremors franchise.
What’s Causing the Rumor?
On April 27, a Facebook page called “Rumbledore” published a post claiming that Netflix would release an eight-episode this series in August 2025. The post said that it would not be a remake but a sequel with Bacon reprising his role decades after the events of the original. The claim spread quickly, and thousands of people reacted and shared it.
However, the page that made the claim has a history of satire and misinformation, often mixing real news with fictional announcements. That’s where the confusion began.
What’s Really Going on with Tremors?
The Tremors universe is abuzz, but Netflix isn’t involved – at least not yet.
Stampede Entertainment, the production company behind the original 1990 film, has recently announced that it has re-acquired the rights to the original Tremors script. This important development has allowed the team to explore new ideas based on the original concept, independent of Universal Pictures, which still has the rights to specific elements such as the Graboid designs and title logo.
According to Stampede, the goal is not to remake the original film or revive old scripts. Instead, they are brainstorming new stories – including one set at the original location of Perfection, Nevada. These ideas could include the return of Kevin Bacon as Val McKee, although the team has stressed that nothing has been confirmed at this stage.
Kevin’s Potential Return
Kevin returning to the series franchise is nothing new. In fact, Bacon has previously expressed interest in reprising his role as Val. Now, with Stampede regaining control of the original script, the possibility seems more real than ever. However, the company has made it clear that no official casting announcement or platform deal has been made yet.
“We are considering ideas that feature the return of Kevin as Val, but no promises!” — Stampede Entertainment
While this buzz is understandable, fans should be wary of unofficial announcements.
No Deal with Netflix Yet
Despite the viral Facebook post, there is no evidence that Netflix is producing a Tremors series. Stampede has not announced any partnership with the streaming giant. In fact, the company is still in the early development stages and exploring ideas on its own terms.
As of now, there is no confirmed distribution platform for any upcoming Tremors project.

A Look at the Legacy of Tremors
The original Tremors premiered in 1990 and quickly achieved cult status for its unique blend of horror, humor, and demonic mayhem. Starring Kevin, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire, the film shows the residents of a small desert town fighting monstrous underground creatures called Graboids.
The franchise has since expanded to include several direct-to-video sequels and a short-lived TV spinoff in 2003 that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel and featured new battles against the ever-evolving creatures in Perfection.
Conclusion: What’s Next for Tremors?
Fans can rest assured that the series franchise hasn’t been buried. With Stampede Entertainment regaining control of the original scripts and developing new ideas—including the possible return of Kevin Bacon—the future of Tremors looks promising.
But for now, the claim that Netflix is releasing a new series is just that—a rumor. No deal has been struck and no streaming platform is officially attached. Stay tuned for real updates as the Graboids prepare to emerge again—presumably with Val McKee at the helm once again.
