Given the extra time for set-up and character development, the plot arc is said to partially take place outside of the annual night of chaos, exploring the overall impact and effect that it has on various characters. It is said to take place in a time period sometime between the second and third film, showing Purge Night at the height of its 'popularity'. Away from theaters, a TV version of The Purge was announced for development back in 2016 by DeMonaco.

Whereas Anarchy and Election Year detailed the fall of the NFFA and the Purge Night, the upcoming The First Purge shows its beginnings. Set in a near-future dystopian world, where the powerful NFFA (New Founding Fathers of America) allow an annual night of sanctioned lawlessness and murder, it led to a franchise that further explored the concept.

The Purge was created by James DeMonaco, and released in 2013. The character bios released with the announcement also hint at some of the plot-strands that will be explored across this 10 episode series, which is expected to air later this year. Three more actors have signed on to become regulars on Syfy's The Purge, the spin-off from James DeMonaco's successful film franchise. DeMonaco is overseeing the series, which will explore some of the themes and social impact outside of the so-called Purge Nights.
