The Purge TV Series Trailer Promises All the Insanity of the Movies

The Purge is officially set to commence on the small screen this September.

USA Network has unveiled the first trailer for its forthcoming The Purge television series, a ten-episode event based on the hit franchise of the same name. Like its film counterpart, The Purge revolves around a 12-hour period when all crime — including murder — is legal. The series will follow several seemingly unrelated characters in a small city as they are forced to reckon with their pasts and see how far they are willing to go to endure their own survival amid the annual Purge.
