When asked if there are any plans to revive the franchise, the director confirms that there is indeed a future for Underworld. He also provides a positive update on the planned TV series.
Are there any plans to bring Underworld back in any fashion?
There is a fashion that is in the works. I can't talk about it, but there is a future to Underworld for sure.
There was some talk about doing an Underworld TV show back in the day. What happened with that?

What To Know About The Underworld TV Show
The project, announced as a collaboration between Sony Pictures Television, Screen Gems, Sketch Films, Lakeshore Entertainment, and 20th Century Television, officially began development in 2017, despite discussions by Wiseman as early as 2014. Wiseman, the director, initially mentioned that the show would explore characters connected to the movie franchise.
As the project progressed, Wiseman provided more details. He stated that it would deviate from the movies in terms of tone and character. The director was cautious about revealing too much but acknowledged that the show would be less influenced by the comic book style compared to the movies. Since then, there have been no major announcements regarding the Underworld television show.
The first Underworld film exceeded expectations at the box office, earning over $95 million worldwide despite having a production budget of $22 million. Underworld: Evolution, released in 2006, further developed the franchise's mythology. Serving as a prequel, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans delved into the origins of the intense conflicts between vampires and Lycans. After a lengthy wait, the television show will finally debut and is expected to offer a fresh and unique perspective compared to its predecessor.
