Hulu To Stream Vampire Chronicles TV Series

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a TV series based on Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles has landed at Hulu after two years in development. Ann and Christopher Rice will executive produce with Anonymous Content’s David Kanter and Steve Golin. Paramount Television and Anonymous Content optioned the rights to eleven books in the series back in April 2017. Bryan Fuller was previously set the be the showrunner in January, but backed out six months ago. He didn’t want to clash creatively with Rice and her son Christopher, who wrote the original script.

The books have sold over 100 million copies. The book Interview with the Vampire was published in 1976 and turned into a film in 1994. This deal is the latest between Paramount Television and Hulu.
