The Purge is becoming a TV series – and production just started on Wednesday (May 9)!

The show, which is based on the hit film franchise, will premiere this fall with a simulcast on both the USA Network and SYFY.

Filming for the upcoming TV adaptation began on Wednesday (May 9) in New Orleans, La. with Anthony Hemingway directing the first episode.

Gabriel Chavarria, Lili Simmons, Jessica Garza, Amanda Warren, Colin Woodell, Hannah Anderson and Lee Tergesen star in the upcoming series, and William Baldwin and Fiona Dourif will recur.

The first film in the series was released in 2013. The concept of the horror movie is that the government enacts a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legal.

Amiah Miller and Andy Serkis looked sharp at the screening of their new film War for the Planet of the Apes tonight!

The 12-year-old actress and the 53-year-old actor hit the red carpet on Monday (July 10) at SVA Theatre in New York City.

They were joined by their co-stars Woody Harrelson, Aleks Paunovic, Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Terry Notary, Chad Rook, Gabriel Chavarria, Dean Redman, Sara Canning, Max Lloyd-Jones, and director Matt Reeves.

“[Matt] really wanted to put the audience into the head of being a chimpanzee because that’s what these movies are about, they are a great metaphor for being able to see ourselves,” Andy told ABC7. “I think this is really powerful, this movie, and it’s a very emotional film. It’s also got great humor in it. It’s an epic, it’s a mythic story. I think it’s a brilliant blockbuster with heart and a lot of intelligence.”

Woody said about Andy, “I think, you know, he might be the greatest actor I’ve ever worked with. He’s extraordinary, he’s [got] the most expressive eyes, he can say nothing and communicate more than almost any other actor.”

Don’t miss War for the Planet of the Apes when it hits theaters on July 14! (Watch the trailer here.)

FYI: Amiah is wearing Dolce&Gabbana.
