On June 9, 2019, Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg announced in a press conference at the Banff World Media Festival that Steven Spielberg was writing a horror series for Katzenberg's then-upcoming service. Spielberg requested that the program only be available to watch after sunset.[1][2] This will be Spielberg's first writing project since A.I. Artificial Intelligence in 2001.[4] In October 2020, it was announced that Quibi was shutting down on December 1, 2020, leaving the fate of the series in question.[5][6]
