Shine isn't the network it's the production company that actually make the show, they hold the right so basically if they don't want to make it any more then it's tough.

The 'Penny Dreadful' column in a recent issue of SFX magazine (#303) has made me aware of nordic author Thomas Olde Heuvelt's novel Hex, published in his native language in 2013 and translated into English in 2016. Here's the trailer (Yes, they have trailers for books now. I had no idea), followed by the publisher's official synopsis;
Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay, never leaves. Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she's there. Or what a threat she poses. Because if the stitches are ever cut open, the story goes, the whole town will die. The curse must not be allowed to spread. The elders of Black Spring have used high-tech surveillance to quarantine the town. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break the strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiralling into a dark nightmare.
The 'Penny Dreadful' column stated that Warner brothers are developing Hex as a television series, but a quick bit of on-line research reveals that this 'development' began in 2014. And while it's true that some TV shows can take several years to reach the screen, it's equally likely that this four year span means that Warners either given up or passed on the idea. I hope not. True, a television show based on Heuvelt's novel wouldn't be Hex as we know it , but some televised Hex is better than no Hex at all. Plus, a TV version of the novel (assuming Warners would be allowed to use Hex as it's that title - Shine may still hold the television copyright to the name) might re-spark some interest in the original series...
