Director M. Night Shyamalan and writer/creator Tony Basgallop have defeated a lawsuit alleging that their "Servant" series on Apple TV+ stole ideas from a previous film.
On appeal, it was allowed to proceed with its accusation that "Servant" stole the plot and aped certain creative choices in the 2013 movie "The Truth About Emanuel.".
None of the "Servant" team have yet commented on the ruling, but in court, Shyamalan said the whole thing was "clearly, 100%, a misunderstanding.".
When the trial began, Shyamalan's attorney Brittany Amadi told the court that "Ms. Gregorini is seeking a windfall here.".
Following a seven-day trial by jury, however, The Independent reports that the federal judge overseeing the case has ruled in favor of "Servant."
