While one vampiric TV offering was recently axed in NOS4A2, now comes word on a new vampire series on the way.

Courtesy of Variety, HBO is developing a new vamp-driven show titled Thirst. From Marco Television Studios, the early word on Thirst has it pegged as a “hip hop vampire drama” from writers Leah Benavides and Carlito Rodriguez.

Thirst will centre on a great but cocky Atlanta rapper who seems destined for the top after linking up with hip hop’s hottest new group. The only problem is that this group is actually a family of goddamn, shit-sucking vampires!

Expect more on Thirst as we get it.
