'The Purge' TV Show Has a Surprising Premise

The Purge isn't content to just release movies into infinity, instead adding a TV show to expand the lore. Today we got the concept, and it's as intriguing as it is simple: the series will be about the 364 days of the year when people aren't living a lawless existence and committing all their favorite crimes for a hot 12 hours. Because you know people are all fucked up before and after the Purge, too.

“How does this awful law affect America the rest of the time?” Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum said at the NBC/Universal upfronts today. We'll find out soon.
