“Monster’s Shrink” Gets Into the Mind of a Vampire
Sounding a bit like “Interview with the Vampire”, Canal Plus is teaming up with French comic book artist-turned-director Joann Sfar on “Monster’s Shrink”, an English-Language live-action series inspired by Sfar’s novel, “The Eternal”, Variety reports.
“Monster’s Shrink” follows Rebecka Broke, a warm, funny and neurotic New York-based psychoanalyst who’s just learned her husband was found dead in their villa in the South of France. While the death has been officially ruled a suicide, Rebecka sets off to uncover the truth about her husband’s mysterious death and travels to Antibes, in the French Riviera, where she comes across an Eastern European vampire in need of therapy.
“Rebecka unexpectedly becomes a shrink for all monsters and discovers that an entire monster ‘underworld’ that has recently become active.”
The series, which will comprise 8 one-hour episodes, is being produced by Jemma Rodgers and Nicola Shindler at RED Production Company, a subsidiary of Studiocanal (the film and TV division of Canal Plus Group).
“Having our lead character Rebecka confront the reawakening of this twisted world and the chance to see my monsters come to life in this way will be thrilling – a new take on the classical monster world,” said Sfar.
