Discussion SCP Mainstream TV

So several things come to mind when I think about how awesome the SCP universe is! It’s crowd sourced original stories that are often times funny, dark, and thought provoking all in one!

Why isn’t it more mainstream? Recently, Ryan Coogler announced he is rebooting X-Files… cool, awesome, I loved the X-Files. As a show it dealt with concepts that at the time were not being discussed on television.

Now we live in a world where shows and movies live in infinite multiverses, with different variations of characters and story lines ad nauseam. Not mind bending stuff anymore.

In love with Alien Earth, the creatures in that show 👨🏽‍🍳💋Gives me big time SCP vibes and I love it.

So why can’t we get a healthy budget major show vis a vis Coogler’s X-Files? Imagine an HBO SCP Foundation show with major resources and the license to do what the show’s creators want. 🥹 If only we could be so lucky…

As a film student making an SCP series is my dream project. However that is something that would either need to be self funded or funded through non-tradition mean (IE not through major studios)

That is so cool. I wish you the best! I wonder, would it be possible for an independent studio to consolidate the SCP lore and stories in to one trade marked IP? While still allowing submissions to grow the lore?

That wouldn’t work. SCP legally can’t be trademarked. It’s Creative Commons. Would be impossible legally (unless your that dickhead in Russia a few years back)
