Tubi is adapting a spooky teen classic.
“Remember Me,” a 1989 Christopher Pike YA novel, is getting a film adaptation via Tubi. Brec Bassinger (“Final Destination Bloodlines”) and Charlie Gillespie (“Sidelined 2: Intercepted”) will star, with “Match” director Danishka Esterhazy shooting a script from Suzanne Keilly (“Slumber Party Massacre”).
Per the official synopsis, “In this YA supernatural murder-mystery, Shari Cooper (Bassinger) is dead. Like, fell from the top of a high-rise to the street below, dead. And one of her friends is her killer. Now she has to solve her own murder from beyond the grave, before the relentless, soul-sucking Shadow that’s stalking her gets to her first.”
The film also stars Mila Rayne (“Darby and the Dead”), Phoebe Lyons (“Watch Me Burn”), Matthew Vey (“Summertide”) and Kealeboga Masango (“Genesis”).
“Tubi has become a destination for YA audiences seeking relatable stories, compelling themes and character-driven storytelling brought to life by dynamic talent like Brec and Charlie,” Adam Lewinson, the chief content officer of Tubi, said in a statement. “Christopher Pike’s ‘Remember Me’ became a rite of passage for a generation — a twisty, supernatural thriller that readers never forgot — and we’re excited to reimagine it for today’s audience.”
The film is part of Tubi’s IAB Newfronts presentation, which takes place today. “Remember Me” is produced by Blue Ice Pictures with Lance Samuels, Esterhazy and Keilly.
Tubi is making a concentrated push to draw in a YA audience, launching originals at that demo in 2026 including “How to Lose a Popularity Contest” and “Kissing Is the Easy Part.”
