In a competitive situation with multiple outlets pursuing the drama, Hulu has landed Vampire Chronicles. The streamer, home to Emmy darling The Handmaid's Tale, has put the drama in development.

Anne and Christopher Rice will exec produce the potential series alongside Anonymous Content's David Kanter and Steve Golin.

Paramount Television and Anonymous Content optioned the rights to 11 books from Rice's Vampire Chronicles franchise back in April 2017.

The Vampire Chronicles deal extends Paramount Television's with Hulu beyond the George Clooney limited series Catch-22. Paramount TV's scripted roster includes Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, Amazon's Jack Ryan, TNT's The Alienist and more.

Nice, I hope they do this well, The Vampire Lestat was my favorite of the series (that I read).

Vampire Lestat was my favorite. It will be interesting to see how much money they throw at this.

I tuned out once she started getting overly homoerotic (not that there is anything wrong with that). Just not my cup of tea.

I think I gave up around The Vampire Armand.

Still waiting for her Mummy to be made although the ending was a bit weak. Actually saw her at The Palace when I was going to see the Brendan Fraser Mummy. Thought about telling her I wish it was her movie on the screen, then decided to give her, her privacy.

Wow, cool, guess I will have to get Hulu eventually. Starting with Lestat”s beginnings, I gather. I don’t remember anything past Body Thief, but I look forward to how they approach this.
