In the 2000s, an extreme trend emerged in the horror genre that gave rise to so-called torture porn films. The most famous examples of this genre included works such as Saw, Wolf Creek, The Devil’s Rejects and Hostel.
There is now a new report about Eli Roth’s film, because the sadistic torture universe returns as a series after three films – with Roth as director. A leading actor has already been announced and the casting is surprising.
Eli Roth’s Hostel series features acting star Paul Giamatti
As the Hollywood Reporter reports, a new Hostel series with Eli Roth as director and the previous producers Chris Briggs and Mike Fleiss is officially in the works. There are no details about the plot yet. The new edition will be modern adaptation and sophisticated thriller described.
However, it is already known which actor is on board. Paul Giamatti, known from films such as Sideways, The Girl in the Water or, most recently, The Holdovers, is set to play a key role in the Hostel series. No further information about his character has been announced.

Giamatti’s casting certainly does not come out of nowhere. On the red carpet, the star recently spoke about how he would like to take on more horror projects in his career. At the same time, he described the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (also known here as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) as a wonderful film.

When does the Hostel series start?
Since it is not even known whether the planned Hostel series will be shown on linear TV or on a streaming service, a start date is still a long way off. We expect a Release not before 2025.
The first Hostel part revolves around three young friends who go on a holiday trip through Eastern Europe together. The promise of sex adventures lures the backpackers to Bratislava. Here they end up in a dark torture nightmare in which the rich elite live out the most sadistic killing fantasies for money.
