Stephen King Pitched a “Law & Order” Spinoff on Twitter… With Vampires!
The Dick Wolf-created “Law & Order” franchise includes so many different shows that it’s begun hard to even keep track. There’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” and “Law & Order: Trial by Jury,” to name just a few. But they all blend right into one another… and Stephen King has an idea to break up the monotony.
Over on Twitter this past weekend, @StephenKing (a must-follow account if there ever was one) pitched a brand new “Law & Order” spinoff series that we’d love to see!
“You’re not going to think I am serious about this, but I am,” King tweeted. “I would like to see Dick Wolf add a new show to his franchise-LAW AND ORDER VAMPIRE SQUAD.”
King was subsequently asked if the series would center on vampires who are cops or cops hunting vampires, to which King replied, “Cops hunting vampires.”
Can we ask for a Halloween special, at the very least?!

Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…
Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.
