Overview
Rebel Highway is a television series created and produced by Lou Arkoff and Debra Hill for the Showtime network. The series is a revival of American International Pictures and features a concept of remaking 1950s drive-in classic B-movies with a modern edge. The series consists of ten episodes, each sharing a title with a late 1950s-early 1960s-era AIP film. However, the episodes are not direct remakes, instead offering different stories from the original films they are titled after. The idea behind the series was to reimagine classic films for a contemporary audience, with a focus on creating more lurid and sexy content. The series was produced for Showtime and features a unique approach to reinterpreting classic B-movies for a 1990s audience. The concept was inspired by the idea of reimagining a classic film like Rebel Without a Cause for a modern audience.
