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.
This past February, after Netflix announced it was developing the series, Shankar told Collider, “I’m personally guaranteeing that this is going to be the best fucking video game adaptation ever made to date. I’ve seen it, and it’s fucking amazing.”
