Following the series's cancellation in 1990, New Line Cinema launched its own television unit a year later.

[a] In 1990, New Line bought a majority stake in Robert Halmi, Inc. Entertainment, a production company specializing in Television films and miniseries.

[1][2] RHI was sold to Hallmark Cards in 1994, shortly after New Line had been acquired by Turner Broadcasting System.

[5] On April 28, 2000, it was announced that Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher, a program New Line is planning on to debut for syndication would debut instead on the Sci-Fi Channel, eventually making it into a made-for-TV movie.

On February 28, 2008, New Line Cinema was merged with Warner Bros. and hence ceased to exist as a separate entity.
