After working together on MaXXXine, singer/actor Halsey and director Ti West are reuniting for the dark comedy series “Bloodlust” over at Amazon, Variety reports this afternoon.
Described as a dark comedy, the series is in the works for Prime Video, and the site’s report notes that Halsey is writing the project and Ti West will be seated in the director’s chair.
In addition to writing, Halsey is also the creator and executive producer of “Bloodlust.” Variety notes in today’s report, however, that the singer doesn’t plan on starring in the series.
Ti West will also serve as executive producer, with Mark Friedman (“Severance,” “Dispatches From Elsewhere”) on board as executive producer and showrunner of the project.
Plot details for “Bloodlust” are currently under wraps. Stay tuned for more.
Ti West is of course fresh off directing the X Trilogy, which kicked off with the 1970s-set slasher movie X and continued with prequel Pearl and this year’s sequel, MaXXXine. Halsey played a character named Tabby Martin in MaXXXine, a friend of Mia Goth’s title character.
West has been building his horror cred for the past two decades, making his debut in 2005 with The Roost and following that feature up with The House of the Devil, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, The Innkeepers, and The Sacrament. But he’s also no stranger to horror television, honing his craft through the years on shows including “Scream,” “The Exorcist” and “Them.”
With the aforementioned X Trilogy under his belt, West has taken his career to new heights in recent years, establishing himself as a true master of the genre. And his attachment to Prime Video’s “Bloodlust” no doubt makes it a project we’ll be watching closely in the coming months.
