Quentin Tarantino will be directing a limited television series

After the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and his claim that he would be ending his career with ten films, movie fans started to anticipate what Quentin Tarantino’s final film would be. He has been long rumored to helm an off-shoot Star Trek film. He has also talked about making a sequel to Kill Bill with Beatrix being hunted down by Vivica A. Fox’s character’s daughter from the first movie.

In a surprising turn, news has now just come out that the prolific director is now set to make his major television debut with a limited series in which he will be directing. As the auteur makes his Cinema Speculation book tour, he recently spoke with documentary filmmaker Elvis Mitchell in New York when he made this announcement, IndieWire reports.

Unfortunately, that is all that is currently known about his project. Tarantino is no stranger to television, having written and directed two CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episodes in 2005, as well as directing an episode of E.R. in 1995. This would be the first time the director would be making an all-out original TV series, however. Not counting the extended version of his film, Hateful Eight, which is split into episodic chapters on Netflix.

Tarantino is currently dabbling in writing as he released a novel adaptation of his latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and a recent book of essays with Cinema Speculation. He explains his latest exploration into the book world, “I kind of feel this is the time for the third act [of my life] to just lean a little bit more into the literary, which would be good as a new father, as a new husband. I wouldn’t be grabbing my family and yanking them to Germany or Sri Lanka or wherever the next story takes place. I can be a little bit more of a homebody, and become a little bit more of a man of letters.”
