M. Night Shyamalan Getting the SyFy Original Series He Deserves

The script, to be co-written with Fright Night remake writer Marti Noxon, returns Shyamalan to the it-turns-out-there-are-ghosts theme of The Sixth Sense, focusing on an billionaire who loses his parents and offers a huge reward to anyone who can promise him that mommy and daddy's souls will go on into some kind of afterlife. So, the twist ending will be that up next is Piranhaconda?
