Just like ghosts which arise from the dead, another Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec collaboration is officially on Peacock’s docket. The streamer announced today the straight-to-series order of supernatural drama series Dead Day from The Vampire Diaries creators, who will serve as co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers.
Dead Day is described as an ensemble series that follows a cast of characters as they “navigate the annual ‘dead day,’ when for one night the dead come back to complete unfinished business—be that to celebrate a night back on earth or to torment the living.” The series is based on the hit AfterShock comic book collection created by Ryan Parrott.
