Hitchcock’s The Birds to fly again as an HBO limited series starring Sarah Snook

One major criticism still thrown at Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic, The Birds, is simple. It’s too short! Two hours of a San Francisco socialite being mysteriously pursued and clawed by winged beasts wasn’t enough. Not even the 1994 made-for-TV sequel The Birds II: Land’s End could quell viewers’ avian flu.
