THE GRABOIDS ARE BACK??? TREMORS REBOOT RUMORS DEBUNKED – BUT SOMETHING IS STIRRING BENEATH PERFECTION!

For fans of cult horror-comedy Tremors, the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of excitement and confusion. Rumors spread like wildfire online that Netflix would be premiering a Tremors reboot series in August 2025—starring none other than Kevin Bacon reprising his iconic role as Valentine McKee. Unfortunately, these reports have been confirmed as false. The claim originated from a satirical post by the Facebook page “Rumbledore,” which is known for posting fictional entertainment news.

Still, all hope is not lost for Tremors enthusiasts. While Netflix is not developing a new series, there is legitimate movement happening within the franchise. Stampede Entertainment—the original team behind the beloved 1990 film—has recently regained rights to the original Tremors script. According to insiders, they are actively exploring new projects, including a possible sequel set once again in the dusty, isolated town of Perfection, Nevada.

Even more exciting is the hint that Kevin Bacon might return to the role that helped launch his genre-spanning career. While nothing has been confirmed, the mere possibility of Bacon’s comeback has reignited fan enthusiasm and speculation about what a modern Tremors film could look like.

Fan Expectations: Back to the Roots?

The Tremors franchise has always had a special place in the hearts of fans thanks to its unique mix of humor, suspense, and down-to-earth characters. Many feel that the series lost some of its charm in later sequels, which strayed far from the tone and setting of the original. A potential reboot or direct sequel that returns to the gritty, survivalist feel of the first movie—perhaps even bringing back the isolated, monster-ridden vibe of Perfection—could be exactly what longtime fans are hoping for.

Kevin Bacon’s potential involvement also plays a huge role in fan excitement. Despite his absence from all the sequels, his performance in the original is still regarded as iconic. His return would not only bring nostalgia but also offer a sense of continuity and legitimacy to any new project.

What’s Next?

For now, the future of Tremors remains uncertain but promising. Stampede Entertainment’s regained control signals that the franchise could soon return to its original creative vision. If a sequel does materialize—with or without Kevin Bacon—it’s likely to attract a mix of nostalgic longtime fans and curious newcomers.

In the meantime, fans eager to revisit where it all began can stream Tremors on AMC+ or rent/buy it through Prime Video.

One thing is clear: whether beneath the sands of Perfection or buried in Hollywood development, the Graboids aren’t done with us yet.
