According to IMDb, the first season was penned by “Iron Man 3” writer Warren Ellis. The series is produced by Adi Shankar (“Dredd”) along with “Adventure Time” co-producers Fred Seibert and Kevin Klonde. The “super violent” miniseries “is going to be dark, satirical, and after a decade of propaganda it will flip the vampire sub-genre on its head,” Shankar wrote on Facebook back in 2015.
