If you're the kind of psycho who's been itching more for American Psycho, it seems were about to get some. Today news has broke that Lionsgate is developing a new American Psycho TV series, as well as one surrounding Saw.

At this point, details are pretty damn thin. But Lionsgate Television chairman Kevin Beggs did confirm in a new interview with Deadline that the company is currently trying to bring both properties to the small screen.

"We've just wrapped up Dear White People, which was a really good experience. Blindspotting is coming up. American Psycho is in development," Beggs said. "We're always exploring what we can do in television with something like the Saw franchise, so that's a conversation."

It's been a whopping 21 years since the original American Psycho arrived, and the film based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel has since gone on to become a cult classic — not to mention a meme generator.

Saw, on the other hand, is getting the new movie Spiral: From the Book of Saw, which arrives via Lionsgate on May 13.
