Waterworld series in the works.

Universal Content Productions is planning as a continuation of the original movie that will pick up twenty years later focusing on the same characters. No additional details are currently available nor is there any word on whether they will attempt to get the original actors to reprise their roles. The film’s producer John Davis is involved with the series and 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Dan Trachtenberg has been attached as director. A network has not been identified yet, but this will be an expensive venture–as was the original film–so it will likely head to one of the major streaming services since they have been throwing a lot of money at their original productions of late. UCP is owned by NBCUniversal, so consider Peacock to be a likely landing spot for the series if it does go forward.
