“Thirst”: HBO Developing Series Described as “Hip Hop Vampire Drama”

From Macro Television Studios, HBO is developing a vampire series titled “Thirst,” Variety is reporting this week, which is being uniquely described as a “hip hop vampire drama.”

Coming from writers Leah Benavides Rodriguez and Carlito Rodriguez, “The series tells the story of a brilliant but cocky Atlanta rapper who thinks he’s found his way to stardom when he links up with hip-hop’s hottest group. But he has no idea they are hiding a terrifying secret: They are a family of vampires with roots going back centuries.”

“Music has been integral to both our lives, and ‘Thirst’ is the perfect opportunity to blend genres, while exploring the intersection of fame, culture and what it means to be American,” Benavides Rodriguez and Rodriguez said in a statement. “We’re excited to bring it to life with Macro Television Studios and the rest of our dope team, and thrilled it has found its home at HBO.”

Kevin Jordan came up with the original concept for the series.
