The series is expected to draw significant attention at the festival. The festival will also include "The Audacity," with "The Big Bang Theory" star Simon Helberg. "The Testaments" showrunner Bruce Miller and cast members, including Ann Dowd, are expected to attend Series Mania.

Additionally, Wiltshire Creative is adapting Shirley Jackson's classic horror novel "The Haunting of Hill House" for the stage, with a U.K. tour scheduled to launch this fall, according to Variety. This stage adaptation follows the 2018 Netflix series that introduced the story to a new audience.

The Mise En Scène Company acquired international rights to "Forge" and "Desert Road," while SND is partnering to restore "La Piscine," according to a Variety news summary.
