HBO developing Thirst, a hip-hop vampire drama

Variety

According to Variety, Thirst "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." Thirst is from Leah Benavides Rodriguez and Carlito Rodriguez. “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,” they said in a joint statement.
