The characters and concepts first appear in Dead Day #1
The Vampire Diaries creators are getting back together for a new supernatural drama.
Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson have re-teamed for Dead Day, a drama based on Ryan Parrott’s AfterShock Comics title of the same name. NBCUniversal’s streamer, Peacock, has handed out a straight to series order for the project that marks the first show the duo has created since they launched The Vampire Diaries, which became a multiple-show franchise for The CW and Warner Bros. TV.
Dead Day, which marks Plec’s second show for her new home at Universal Television, follows an ensemble 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.
Plec and Williamson will serve as writers and co-showrunners on the series. Both exec produce alongside Ben Fast, Emily Cummins and Lee Kramer as well as AfterShock Media’s Jon Kramer and David Sigurani. Comic author Parrott, who recently saw Dead Day picked up for a second volume at AfterShock, is on board as a consulting producer.
